Port Arthur: The Russo-Japanese War (1992)

Port Arthur is a simulation of the ground campaign of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. The game was first published as a supplement to Command magazine Issue #19, along with the Pyrrhic Victory variant to I Am Spartacus. The game was later reprinted in Command Magazine Japan #6.

Included in the game are 10 pages of rules, a 22" x 34" mapsheet, and 101 counters.

Victory points are awarded for causing enemy casualties, and for control of Liaoyang, Mukden, and Port Arthur (which is worth 2 points). At the beginning of the game the Russian player will be receiving 4 points per turn, so it is imperative for the Japanese player to be aggressive. At the end of 10 complete turns, the player with the higher total, wins.
