Warlords of Taishan: Tales of the Dogmeat General
Republic of China 1928
The Warlord Era of Republican China is a time of great chaos, when Bastards and Bandits (and sometimes both) make history. Zhang Zongchang is no exception, or rather, all the exceptions. In 1925, Zhang conquered the province of Shandong, only to be rudely displaced by the Kuomintang. In 1929, Zhang returned to Shandong, ready for a rematch along with YOU, members of his entourage and general staff. Against you are arrayed not only a disgusted populace, but a mysterious religious revival and the professional Nationalist army led by Zhang’s former right-hand-man Liu Zhennian. You must utilize all your backhand dealings and popular support to accumulate Zhang’s political and financial capital, rebuild the warlord state, and defend it from the National Government’s inevitable attempts at reconquest.
