The location was the Yellow Sea. The players were the naval fleets of Russia and Japan. The game was war. On this date in 1904, Japanese battleships fought Russian ones in direct combat for nearly seven hours in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. They successfully stopped the Russian battleships from breaking out of Port Arthur to join forces with their counterparts in Vladivostok. This was a crucial event in the Russo-Japanese War. The Battle of the Yellow Sea was also the first major confrontation between modern steel battleship fleets in naval history.

知識大補帖
日本和俄國為了爭奪朝鮮半島(Korean Peninsula)和中國東北的控制權,於1904年2月6日爆發日俄戰爭,雙方均出動海、陸兩軍。在這場戰役中,海軍打了4場主要的海戰(圖,翻攝網 路),其中包括黃海海戰。日本在日俄戰爭勝利後,開始在東北亞取得軍事優勢,以及在朝鮮半島和中國東北駐軍的能力,使俄國拓展此區的野心受到阻撓。當時日 俄戰爭的陸上戰場在清朝的滿州地區,積弱不振的清朝政府被迫宣布中立,並為這場戰爭劃出一塊交戰區。
