Port Arthur is a vibrant, fast-moving and incredibly beautiful two-player naval strategy game that recreates the 1905 Russo-Japanese war at sea. Players can take on the role of Japan, aiming to amphibiously land armies in Manchuria and strike at the Imperial Russian Navy, or play as Russia, fighting far from home to prevent Japanese landings until reinforcements arrive.

Gameplay is quick and tense, with players using their naval forces to mount sorties against the enemy and dominate the naval zones surrounding Japan. Each turn presents a rich array of tough decisions, with success in combat depending on the amount of risk a player is willing to take, factoring in the variable speed and gunnery skills of the ships involved.

I am really keen on bringing this small, neat and beautiful game to the table soon. Should be fun!
