This edition maintains the original structure while incorporating decades of player feedback updated scenarios and newly available historical sources. With over 2000 counters and multiple maps it immerses players in the complexity of Pacific warfare. Though not designed with a solo ‘Bot system the game supports solitaire play through built-in mechanics. Pacific War is a demanding richly detailed experience - ideal for those seeking serious strategic depth not a light or casual wargame.
