箱館戦争 (Hakodate War)

The Battle of Hakodate was a war in which the first maritime strategy faced by modern Japan dominated the battlefield. The Kaiyo was lost in an accident, and the new government army acquired the ironclad Kotetsu, and the power balance changed drastically.

The player aims to establish the Republic of Ezo from the standpoint of Takeaki Enomoto. The operation of the Navy is important, but money is needed for the Navy to function. Taxes must be collected while paying attention to the feelings of the residents, and ground troops and warships must be prepared to prepare for the arrival of the new government army. Can you fight better than historically against the new government forces who are trying to end the civil war early with the game system? Or can we achieve the long-cherished desire to establish the Republic of Ezo?

箱館戦争は近代日本が直面した最初の海洋戦略が戦局を左右する戦争でした──当時国内最強の軍艦〈開陽〉を要する旧幕府軍が海軍力で新政府軍を圧倒していましたが、その〈開陽〉を事故で失い、新政府軍が装甲艦〈甲鉄〉を手に入れ、パワー・バランスは激変しました。プレイヤーは榎本武揚の立場で蝦夷共和国の樹立を目指します。海軍の運用が重要ですが、海軍を機能させるためには金が必要です。住民感情に注意しつつ徴税し、地上部隊と軍艦を整備して、新政府軍の来寇に備えなければなりません。果たしてあなたは、ゲーム・システムによって内戦を早期に終わらせようとする新政府軍を相手に、史実より善戦できるでしょうか。あるいは、蝦夷共和国樹立の悲願を達成できるでしょうか。
