Great War at Sea: Russo-Japanese War

This game covers the naval conflict between Japan and Russia, beginning with Japan’s surprise attack on the Russian Pacific Fleet at Port Arthur. Players command fleets in 50 scenarios, including the Battle of Tsushima and hypothetical engagements involving expanded forces. Fleets search for one another across operational sea zones around Japan. When contact is made, play shifts to a tactical map where ships maneuver and fight. Battleships, armored cruisers, and torpedo boats reflect the contrasting fleets and capabilities of the historical war.
