Rivalry between the U.S. and Great Britain didn`t end with the War of 1812. Some naval officers from each country saw the other as a potential future threat, while others dreamed of close alliance between the English-speaking powers. When the United States formalized its war plans in the early 20th Century, potential foes were coded by color. Japan became Orange, Germany was Black, and Britain was noted as Red. U.S. Navy Plan Red is a Great War at Sea series game based on these plans. The action takes place on the Eastern Seaboard, with a map stretching from Norfolk to Newfoundland.
