Port Arthur

Get ready to relive a piece of naval history with Port Arthur, a two-player game that throws you right into the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. Take command of Japan and plan amphibious landings in Manchuria, or defend the Russian coastlines against the invading tide, far from home and awaiting reinforcements. Each game is a tense and fast-paced race across the seas, where you use your naval forces to strike the enemy and dominate the strategic waters around Japan. Decisions are crucial every turn, and success in combat depends on your willingness to take risks, considering the speed and gunnery capabilities of your ships. Port Arthur is part of the "Combat Rations" series, known for accessible wargames that are easy to learn, feature great art, and high-quality components. If you enjoy wargames that get straight to the point, with few rules but plenty of tactical decisions, and don't mind a bit of luck from the dice that can turn the tide, this one's for you. Will you rewrite history and send the Russian fleet to the bottom of the ocean, or will you manage to defend the empire against the Japanese advance? The choice is yours!
