The most accessible, fun, fast playing game of WW2 in the Pacific that I know of.
The correct strategic dilemmas are presented for both players and we have found each sitting of this classic to be a true joy to play.

By adjusting the victory conditions this game becomes very challenging for both sides. Complexity is just right for me and has just the right amount of chrome and optional rules to make it interesting.

Easy to play but each player has tough decisions to make each and every turn. Once you get the hang of the rules (which are not hard to learn), the game flows intuitively. It’s a fun game, but also a very good historical simulation. One of my favorites!

A tense nailbiter that keeps you feeling like you never have enough assets to keep you both on the defense and the offense at the same time. For the Japanese, it’s a fight against attrition of their superior starting forces; for the Allies, it’s a struggle to hang on to their territory until increased production can beat their enemies.
