Great War at Sea:
Swan of the East

For close to 200 years, the British Empire looked to India as its most valuable possession. In the late 1700’s India represented more than 20 percent of global economic output; looting the subcontinent funded Britain’s industrial revolution.

Defense of the vital Indian Ocean trade routes fell to the Royal Navy, which had made those waters British lake. Yet during the Great War German raiders made daring forays into the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, successfully interdicting vital commerce and tying down Allied warships.

Swan of the East is a scenario and history book that tells the story of famous German commerce raiders like the light cruiser Emden, the armed merchant ship Moewe, and the sailing ship (yes, sailing ship) Seeadler. It’s a thoroughly re-made version of our old Bay of Bengal book, with scenarios replaced or re-written, and many more added to bring the total to 45. That will give you plenty of play opportunities.

To play them, you’ll need Second World War at Sea: Eastern Fleet (for the operational map) and Great War at Sea: Cruiser Warfare and Jutland Second Edition (for the pieces).
