Claws of the Tiger: The Japanese Invasion of Malaya 1941-1942

Capture Singapore in 70 days—or defend Malaya and rewrite history. This two-player wargame recreates the Japanese invasion of Malaya in December 1941. One player commands Imperial Japanese forces, while the other controls the British Commonwealth. Players move forces across varied terrain, conduct combat, manage supply, call on air support, and bring in reinforcements over 16 turns. Sea movement, fortified positions, and an optional solitaire variant are also included.
