Great War at Sea: Bay of Bengal Direct link : http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7093 A Great War at Sea Scenario Book For 200 years, India was the most valuable overseas possession of the British Empire, commonly referred to as "the brightest jewel in the Crown." Defence of the critical trade routes connecting this jewel to Great Britain fell primarily to the Royal Navy's Indies and China station squadrons. While the Indian Ocean was essentially a "British Lake" by the early 20th century, during the Great War German raiders made daring forays into the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, successfully interdicting vital commerce and tying down Allied warships. Bay of Bengal is a supplement for the Great War at Sea series that examines naval combat in and around the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean, as the British attempt to defend their colonial prize from enemies historical and hypothetical. Ten battle and 24 operational scenarios examine situations ranging from the adventures of the famous German raider Emden to pre-dreadnought era battles against rival colonial powers, and on to the possible later conflicts with the Japanese feared by some members of the British government. This supplement contains no pieces or maps, but requires ownership of Mediterranean, Cruiser Warfare, Jutland and Pacific Crossroads as well as the operational map from Second World War at Sea: Eastern Fleet to play most of the scenarios, while Plan Gold, Cone of Fire, Sea of Troubles and Black Waters are needed to enjoy them all. Second World War at Sea: The Kaiser's Navy Direct link : http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7094 Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II took great pride in "his" navy, but when war came in 1914, the Kaiserliche Marine proved incapable lifting the Allied blockade. Surrendered to the Allies, most of the fleet would be scuttled by its own crews in 1919, with the remaining units cut up for scrap. The Kaiser's Navy is a book supplement for the Second World War at Sea game series, exploring the alternative history possibilities had Imperial Germany survived the First World War. "There are 210 laser-cut, mounted playing pieces: 70 double-sized "long" ship pieces, including two aircraft-carrying zeppelins, and 140 standard-sized ones representing task forces, aircraft and smaller warships. The pieces represent many of the ships of the original High Seas Fleet in modernized form, plus modernized version of ships not completed or those planned but never laid down as well as Imperial versions of later German designs. Background articles explore the development of these ships that never were. There are also over two dozen new scenarios, or separate game situations, based on battles that might have been waged by the Imperial German Navy. This module is not playable by itself, but requires ownership of Bismarck and Bomb Alley to enjoy most of the scenarios, and Arctic Convoy and East of Suez to enjoy them all. Great War at Sea: Confederate States Navy Direct link : http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7095 When Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston's Army of Mississippi destroyed the Union's Army of the Tennessee at Shiloh in April 1862, it brought despair to an already-restive Northern public. A few weeks later the entire world witnessed a single Confederate ironclad isolate the Union's Army of the Potomac on the Virginia Peninsula; the Union ship that might have saved the day, the ironclad Monitor sank in heavy seas before it could arrive. With no hope of rescue, Union General George B McClellan surrendered. The Civil War ended after roughly a year of fighting, and the two parts of the former United States went their separate ways. Confederate States Navy is a supplement for the Great War at Sea series that examines the Confederate States of America's naval position in future decades, had the South successfully broken away to become an independent nation. Greatly outclassed economically, yet spurred by a desire to project power southward, the Confederacy's fleet backed by numerous small craft, submarines and airplanes intended to offset the Union's numerical advantage. Confederate States Navy includes 105 laser-cut playing pieces and 30 scenarios (separate game situations). It is not a complete game, but requires ownership of the Great War at Sea boxed games Mediterranean, Cruiser Warfare, Jutland, Cone of Fire and Pacific Crossroads, and the Dreadnoughts, Sea of Troubles and Black Waters supplements.
