Eastern Fleet is a boxed game in the Second World War at Sea series covering the Japanese campaigns against the American, Dutch and British colonies of South and East Asia. Scenarios range from the Japanese invasions of Burma and the Andaman Islands through the massive carrier raids to the planned but never executed invasion of Ceylon. The Japanese often have overwhelming superiority in the air, which the British must counter with guile while trying to lure the enemy into range of his slow but powerful battleships.
