Red Sky Morning...The Second Japanese American War 1997-98 Wargame Book and Map
 
War for the Pacific Rim in 1997! Red Sky Morning is a naval and air wargame of remorseless betrayal, ruthless and violent finality, meanspirited savagery and methodic, high-tech, large-calibre, supersonic, nation-gutting rampage, set in our near future. A declining U.S. attempts to regain its status as master of the Pacific by blockading a resurgent and again-nationalistic Japan. The Japanese, Washington claims, forced a war when they embargoed all their electronic and cybernetic exports — demanding guaranteed and unlimited access to Alaska's North Slope oil in return for its lifting. Rather than submit, the teetering but still potent republic strikes! RSM uses an evolution of TSR, Inc's., Hunt for Red October system. It handily models the crucial aspects of strategic and operational air/sea warfare, while retaining tactical ship vs. ship flavor/ too. It can be played and enjoyed by newcomers and grognards alike. RSM comes with a full color map of the Pacific, stretching from Siberia and Alaska in the north to Singapore and Hawaii in the south. It has 292 unit counters, and a 24-page rules and future-hi story booklet. Rules cover such things as admirals, stealth technology, politics, missiles, weapons depletion, task forces, blockade effects, multi-round combat, random events, EW, ASW, and last-ditch Kamikazes."
