Description

The Great Pacific War is a strategic-level game that drops you into the midst of World War II, tasking you with commanding the forces of Japan, Britain, the Soviet Union, or America in the Pacific Theater. With 2 to 5 players taking on these roles, the game is a complex and immersive experience that spans from 1937 to 1945, covering the entire war. The game's chit-pull system and dice rolling mechanics add a layer of unpredictability, making each playthrough unique. As you navigate the hexagon grid, representing a massive 60 miles per hex, you'll need to manage your nation's military, economic, and political destinies, all while battling across almost a third of the earth's surface. As you play, you'll be faced with tough decisions, such as whether to go to war with America or the Soviet Union, or how to manage your economy and build your military forces. The game's scenarios offer a range of possibilities, from a possible 1931 conflict between Japan and America to a simulation of the entire Second World War, linking up with the game Third Reich. With a playtime of 240 to 480 minutes, The Great Pacific War is a serious commitment, but one that promises a deeply engaging and challenging experience for fans of wargames and World War II history. The game's complexity and depth make it a great choice for those looking for a game that will keep them on their toes, and its ability to be linked with Third Reich offers endless possibilities for epic gameplay.
