Second World War at Sea: Eastern Fleet

The Royal Navy faces the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Indian Ocean, from the invasions of Burma and the Andaman Islands to carrier raids and the planned invasion of Ceylon. Players command task forces of ships and aircraft across strategic and tactical maps. Japan fields powerful fleet carriers, veteran air crews, fast battle cruisers, and destroyers armed with Long Lance torpedoes, while Britain relies on smaller carriers, battleships, allied vessels, and guile to counter its opponent’s air superiority. Eleven scenarios cover the campaigns using individual ship and aircraft counters.
