Major-General Lim Bo Seng was a prominent Hokkien businessman who undertook active leadership in anti-Japanese activities during World War II. He is recognised as a local war hero in Singapore. He was involved in the recruitment of Chinese volunteers for Force 136, the British resistance force in Malaya during the Japanese occupation. While on a mission in Ipoh, he was betrayed and captured by the Japanese. He died in a Japanese prison within a few months. The Chinese Nationalist Government posthumously conferred upon him the rank of Major-General.

Card: Commonwealth
Supply cost: 3
Game effect: When played, allows the Commonwealth player to immediately place a Recon Trooper (strength 4) on the Singapore Harbour hex. This can only be done if there is an unused Commonwealth Recon Trooper counter available (as in, there aren't already six Commonwealth Recon Troopers in the game). The Singapore Harbour hex must also be empty of any units. Using this card and placing the new Recon Trooper does not count as a move on the Commonwealth player's turn.
