It was released in August 1998 in North America and in September 1998 in Europe.

It uses the same game dynamics as these earlier games—turn-based movement & fighting with military units on a hex based map.

Game premise

People's General focuses on modern conflict in Asia between 20 countries, principally the USA, China and Russia.

In the original game the countries are organized into an Eastern Alliance and a Western Alliance. China, Mongolia and North Koreacomprise the Eastern Alliance. The USA, Russia, 13 other countries and the United Nations comprise the Western Alliance. Vietnam is included as an un-allied country.

Gamer created campaigns and scenarios have expanded this premise to include different regions of conflict, different alliances and other countries.

Background story

The original campaigns and scenarios expanded on this premise with a more detailedbackground storyprovided by SSI via an introductory video. The video narrated hypothetical «future» events occurring from 2000—2004, i.e., after publication of the game and before the start of the campaigns and scenarios.

According to this video, both the USA and Russia reduce their military spendings. Russia is in turmoil from food shortages and other internal conflicts. China grows stronger militarily. After invading Taiwan it initiates a plan to dominate all of Asia from Sakhalin Islandsand Vladivostok in the east to Volgograd and Kazakhstan in the west; from Siberia in the north to Southeast Asia and Singapore in the south. China justifies this as «reclaiming traditional Chinese territories».

The USA sends its 7th Fleet to the Taiwan Straits to force China to withdraw. Chinese air attacks sink 7th Fleet's flagship USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), claiming it was in Chinese waters. United States denounces this as an unprovoked attack and declares war on China. The US is joined by the United Nations and most of its members.

Many campaigns and scenarios created by gamers diverge from this background story.

Game dynamics

The game dynamics in PeG are essentially the same as those in PG2and SSI's earlier Generals games:

1. The playing pieces are military units which have varied attack, defense and other characteristics.
2. Play is turn based with unit purchase, deployment, movement and combat occurring throughout each player's turn.
3. Game play takes place on maps with different types of terrain which affect each unit's attack, defense, movement, supply, spotting results & entrenchment. People's General for PC.
4. Units can be damaged or destroyed from combat but can also increase their experience as a result of combat.
5. Prestige points are used to purchase or upgrade units; prestige points are distributed at the beginning of scenarios and during game play.

Some specifics have been changed though so PeG's dynamics are not exactly the same as those of the others.

New features

PeG includes many new or improved features compared to PG2 and the earlier Five Star General games:

• Attachments which modify attack, defense, supply, movement & spotting capabilities can be assigned to units.
