About the game
In the months just before the Russo-Japanese War, agents for both empires scoured the globe for additional warships they might purchase or, more often, stop the other side from purchasing. But you can have them all (for free, at least at first): Argentine and Chilean armored cruisers; Turkish, Chilean and Brazilian coast defense ships. We have their stories, the pieces, and the scenarios. Golden Journal No. 52: Russo-Japanese War Shopping Spree provides you with 20 new Great War at Sea pieces for the ships Russia and Japan tried but failed to purchase ahead of their 1904 showdown. You also get six new scenarios so you can play with them in Great War at Sea: Russo-Japanese War. —description from the publisher
