It's so very different conceptually from the ground war in Europe, and from the vast majority of war games that I've played in the past.
The British far east fleet clears the Japanese convoys out of the south china sea, despite a large Japanese naval presence there.
Over in Europe, Italians capture both ends of the Suez canal and advance on Cairo. That will complete the Mediterranean trifecta of Gibraltar, Malta, Egypt.
