Choson Korean Army 1592-1598
28mm figures designed by Alan Perry
In 1592, Japan invaded Korea with the expectation of an easy victory which would create a pathway though to their main goal, China. But it wasn't going to be that easy. After a bloody war, Korea was occupied, stalling Japan's advance into China. A second invasion force was sent to Korea in 1597, but this was eventually beaten by the combined forces of Korea and Ming China.
This range is designed to be used with our Age of Wars Samurai range.
