About this game

This pre-Pearl Harbor Japanese game was aimed at second-graders. The movement track shows soldiers in a wide variety of roles, including infantry, artillery, tanks, cavalry, transportation, medical and engineering. Unusually, it also features a beach assault by Special Naval Landing Force troops, naval bombers and warships, bridging the traditional rivalry between army and naval forces.
