Pocket Battle Game 28 - Operation KITA

Printed on a single piece of postcard-sized card stock, with the game map on the front and rules on the back. Pieces must be cut out.

In February 1945, the Japanese executed Operation Kita ("North"). Two hybrid battleship-aircraft carriers and four escort ships dashed home to Japan from Singapore. The Allies detected the Japanese task force, but all their tries to attack it with submarines and aircraft were ineffectual and failed. These were among the last IJN warships to safely reach Japan before the war ended.
