The Indian Ocean Raid
“The most dangerous moment of the war, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there. The capture of Ceylon, the consequent control of the Indian Ocean, and the possibility at the same time of a German conquest of Egypt would have closed the ring and the future would have been black.”

This is a scenario for my ruleset There's The Effing Scheer, and its expansion Striking Effectively First, which allows you to wargame early- to mid-war WW2 naval combat.
I have been interested by the what-if nature of the Indian Ocean Raid of 1942 for some time. While researching Coral Sea and Midway for SEF, I was struck by the fact I knew so little about the British capital ship losses (a carrier and two heavy cruisers) just a few months before these two huge, better known clashes.
