Russo-Japanese War                   
1904 - 1905
game by Michael Taylor

Russo-Japanese War is a detailed, operational-level game that models the historical 1904-05 campaign in Manchuria. The game is designed for two players, but can easily accommodate additional players. For example, each side might have separate naval and ground commanders and/or multiple ground commanders. The Russian player controls the Russian ground and naval forces. The Japanese player controls the Japanese ground and naval forces. The Russian player must defend Russian possessions in Manchuria while building up his armies by reinforcement from Siberia and European Russia, and then inflict unacceptable losses on his opponent and force him to sue for peace. The Japanese player must quickly defeat the Russian army before it can reinforce itself. Both sides must avoid heavy losses and a protracted war. Russian National Will and social unrest may bring on the downfall of the monarchy, while Japan has very limited resources.

 I suppose with this war you need to decide what season you are going to represent.

"We know that a lot of you have been waiting for this one, so we're pleased to announce that our new Russo-Japanese range is now available!

"Rival ambitions between Russia and Japan lead to a surprise attack on the Russian fleet by the Japanese in February 1904.  Despite continuing to suffer defeats over the following 18 months, Russia refused to surrender and the war was eventually ended with the conclusive naval battle of Tsushima in August 1905, and a subsequent peace treaty.

This complete victory by the Japanese military surprised international observers and transformed the balance of power in both East Asia and Europe, resulting in Japan's emergence as a great power and a decline in the Russian Empire's prestige and influence in Europe. Russia's incurrence of substantial casualties and losses for a cause that resulted in humiliating defeat contributed to a growing domestic unrest which culminated in the 1905 Russian Revolution, and severely damaged the prestige of the Russian autocracy."

We've replaced our old range with two new, fully comprehensive ranges containing almost everything you need, so head over and take a look here:  https://www.pendraken.co.uk/1905-russo-japanese-war-656-c.asp

Russo-Japanese War Programme (1904) | BFI National Archive

 A series of battles in the Russo-Japanese War is presented as a visual spectacle.

This film has an unusual opening for documenting war: a group of soldiers release a balloon with two men in its basket. With their telescope, the men watch the battles far below. This framing device, partly filmed on a studio set, serves to present gruesome battles as entertaining spectacle. In some battles, the camera seems to accompany the Japanese troops, but as the distant view from the balloon in the opening sequence suggests, the film maintains an onlooker’s perspective. The waged from 1904 to 1905. Along with the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 expedited Japan’s colonial expansion in East Asia during the first half of the 20th century. Because of Japan’s consecutive victories in such modern warfare, many Japanese patriots fondly view the Meiji period as the nation’s age of confidence, having been encouraged by war films and historical dramas which provided a source for nationalism. (Kosuke Fujiki) Bryony Dixon, BFI curator of silent film adds: This is a compilation of films mostly relating to the Russo-Japanese War, using films by various companies: Urban, Warwick, Pathé, Gaumont and Alfred West. It was issued as a series under the title Événements Russo-Japonais by Pathé in 1904. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI

General Nogi / Hakugaku Kuribayashi

Dear Ralphus,

I've just found & have enjoyed perusing your blog Warfare in the Age of 
Steam.

Its reminded me of a living Russo Japanese War anachronism I came across 
when I was looking into that conflict some years ago. Hakugaku 
Kuribayashi, an octogenarian Japanese WWII veteran is also the curator 
of his private Nasu War Museum, in the small town of Nasu, Japan. The 
museum is predominantly WWII but what I find fascinating about Mr. 
Kuribayashi is this, which I quote from a piece written about his 
museum:

"The museum is privately run by a right-winger with a penchant for 
dressing up like General Nogi, a hero of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) 
who performed rather less well during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05). 
The General is also famous for having committed suicide (with his wife) 
when the Meiji Emperor died in 1912.

Mr. Kuribayashi is also seen dressed in Meiji period uniform as 
General Nogi during ceremonies at the Yasukuni Shrine War Memorial in 
Tokyo. I admire his devotion to the Emperor & his unapologetic imperial 
patriotism. I see this as reenacting brought to an almost transcendent 
level.

I hope you find this of interest & I include some links below.

Respectfully, William Voorhest, Montauk, NY
