About Singapore
"Singapore" is a two-player wargame covering the Japanese invasion of British Malaya in World War 2. The game is operational in scale, with units representing brigades and regiments. The map sheet consists of two maps: a large-scale map of Malaya as well as a more detailed map of Singapore island. The earlier turns of the game take place on the larger Malayan map, and the play moves to the smaller Singapore map only towards the end of the game, when the Japanese prepare to assault the island. Game components consist of one map sheet, 100 counters, rules, and game charts. The game was originally published in Strategy & Tactics magazine (S&T) #96. Game Scale: "Each hexagon on the large map of the Malacca Peninsular represents an area 16 miles across. Each hex on the inset map of Singapore Island represents an area 3.4 miles across. Each Game-Turn represents one week of time. Each Assault Pulse represents 56 hours." (Source: Section 2.4 of the Rules (Game Scale)).
