SGWAS: Tropical Storm

In Tropic of Capricorn, the Brazilians hold their own at first, but the odds swing against them when a Royal Navy aircraft carrier task force arrives. Though outnumbered, they have easier access to the neutral United States and its shipyards, which are happy to repair battle damage for a price. The story wraps up in July 1941, with the Brazilians suffering a major defeat at the hands of Royal Navy biplane torpedo bombers.

 The book comes with 80 new die-cut and silky smooth playing pieces: 60 “long” double-sized ship pieces and 20 merely normal-sized ones.

And there’s a map, the middle map from Cone of Fire, which shows the central Argentine coast.

The heart of the book is the story, which continues the action in August 1941, following the British air strike on the Brazilian fleet. The Brazilians get some badly-needed help soon afterwards, as the German West African Squadron rushes across the Atlantic to take refuge with their allies following the fall of Kamerun.
