In 960 Chao K'uang-yin, an officer of the palace guard in the relatively minor state of Chao, staged a coup and proclaimed his own regime - the Sung. He then embarked on an extraordinary series of conquests, with the aim of subduing the various kingdoms among whom China had been divided since the collapse of the T'ang in 907.

Modern wargaming has always been one of my big interests, but I realise that it is
never going to be everybody's cup of tea. (I use "modern" here in the sense of
"happening now", and not - as some wargamers are prone to do - for the whole
post-1945 era.) A lot of today's technology is difficult to evaluate, as not only is it
very complex but it is also as often as not untried in actual combat, so that all we have
to go on are guesses and over-optimistic sales brochures.
