New scenario. Conquest of Ceylon island by Japanese-Vichy forces. |
Historic overview:
Hypothetical scenario. The Japanese attack on Ceylon in collaboration with the Vichy French. The scenario is largely inspired by a chapter "Operation Orient" from the book The Hitler Options. The map is also from it. The Japanese did not actually attempt to invade Ceylon, but in April 1942 they launched a naval-aircraft raid into the Indian Ocean, attacking Ceylon bases in a hit-and-run fashion.

Game play matters:
Campaign play: Defeat means the need to prevent the invasion of Americans on Roi-Namur in Marshall Islands. Minor victory means the same with possibility to choose defending another point of Marshall Islands - the island of Kwajalein. Major victory leads to Persia. Scenario rarities: In scenario, it is impossible to navigate ships between the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar at Adam´s Bridge, which is a string of islets and coral shoals, which connects mainland India with Ceylon island and which is impassable for ships. Only in 2007 was digging for shipping. Unfortunately, due to the editing possibilities, although the movement of ships across hexech is blocked but while a ground unit can get on them. |
