Three days after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese demonstrated to the Royal Navy exactly what happens to surface craft who stick their necks out without friendly air cover. Britain's Force Z, centered on the battleship Prince of Wales and the battlecruiser Repulse (represented by the HMS Hood (51)), attempted to intercept the Japanese amphibious forces close to Malaya. They were located by planes of several IJN air groups off the eastern coast of the peninsula, and subjected to multiple attacks, the third of which left both capital ships sinking. With their demise, the road to Singapore lay open.

Japanese G4M Bombers appear from the Northwest corner of the map, they also have the cruiser IJN Kumano, IJN Fubuki and two Tsurumi oiler ships in the Southeast. The British strike force starts in the Northeast and consists of five ships, three of which are destroyers. They are supported by Bristol Type 152 Beaufort torpedo bombers.

The coast was previously part of the battle but was made to be outside the combat area.
