About the Game

This supplement provides scenarios and systems information for the first half of the Pacific War, December 1941 through the end of 1943. This includes the initial Japanese attacks, the Allied carrier raids, and the Japanese raids on Ceylon, Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Solomons campaign.

Included are not only surface engagements, but air and submarine actions as well.

The scenarios are grouped into campaigns, each representing a distinct phase of the war. A one-page summary and map will help you understand the aims of the two sides during this part of the war. This can be vital in understanding why a particular battle occurred.
