Field Command: Singapore 1942 Cards Expansion is a card-based expansion to the Field Command: Singapore 1942, which is about the Battle of Singapore during the Second World War.
This expansion allows the player to experience many interesting and unique episodes that truly happened during the Battle of Singapore, such as Yamashita's bluff and Maxwell's premature withdrawal, the failed Japanese ruse of disguise as Indian soldiers, and the burning hell on Kranji river. Together, these episodes epitomize the unpredict-ability of warfare, as few real battles follow the textbook or even go according to plan.
The cards come in 2 decks, one for each side of the conflict, and enhance the replayability of 2 campaign scenarios - Impregnable Fortress & The Almost Naked Island. Players will get to adapt to unforeseen situations and surprise their opponents. Every game is a new challenge.
The Battle of Singapore 1942 is one of the most historically significant battles during the Second World War. It demonstrates how a campaign can be won through thorough logistics preparation, daring strategic gambles, and tactical innovations.
Take on the role of the British, Australian or Japanese field commander during the Battle of Singapore 1942. Re-live the period with the historic "Fortress Singapore" scenario or try a different challenge through one of the hypothetical scenarios, such as "Operation Tiderace", the British retaking of Singapore island. Play with Situation cards, for added complexity, unpredictability, and realism.
Manage supplies. Defend strategic objectives. Decide the tactics for each combat engagement. Every game is different.
Will you live up to the challenge?
