The game starts with the Japanese on the offense, having just dealt a crushing blow to the US fleet at Pearl Harbor.

With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 60 to 150 minutes, Holdfast: Pacific 1941-45 is a game of strategy and skill that's perfect for 1 to 2 players. You'll need to use action points, area movement, and dice rolling to outmaneuver your opponent, all while keeping your unit deployments secret. Will you be able to secure a Pacific empire as the Japanese, or mount a successful counterattack as the Allies? The fate of the war is in your hands.
