The First Sino-Japanese War is a free and open-source game simulating the namesake conflict of 1894–1895. The game includes a naval tactical combat system that uses a dynamic time step (e.g., 1 second per pulse) but is generally played in 1-minute turns. Its core resolution mechanics are inspired by the famous miniature naval wargame SEEKRIEG 5, while gameplay is influenced by Rule the Wave (1-minute turn flow), JTS Naval Campaigns (aesthetics), and Command: Modern Operations (runtime editor).
The strategic layer (still under development) uses 1-day turns, 50 km/hex and a WEGO system. It covers tactical naval combat generation, strategic-level land combat resolution, supply, and political simulation.
