The Pacific, late 1942, and the Sea and Air Forces of the Empire of Japan are preparing to open the brutal fight for survival in the Pacific region with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the main Naval Base of the US Pacific fleet, bringing the United States of America fully into the war with the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. The entering of Japan into the war marked a period of great expansion, her empire carving deeper into China, annexing the independant states of Thailand and the Phillipines, and advancing far into the colonial Empires of Britain and Holland. Can the surviving US Carrier Fleet reassert it's control of the Pacific, can her Country's stretched industry producing enough war material to overcome the advancing Japanese forces, or will the Japanese war machine overrun the Allies of the US and her new comrades in South East Asia, creating a vast Asian Co-prosperity sphere controlled by the largest Empire ever created? Will the US stave off the threat of invasion, eventually winning out through sheer brute strength and industrial might, or will the Imperial Japanese Empire successfully mount an attack on the US mainland? Will the preoccupied Soviet Union intervene, remain neutral to Japan, or will she be helpless to resist the Axis onslaught? Who will be first to develop the devastating new super-weapon, the Nuclear Bomb, and who will succumb to it?
You decide the outcome of the War in the Pacific, and the outcome decides the future of half of the World.
Playable: Japan, USA, USSR, China (Communist and Nationalist Allied), British Empire, Dutch Empire, Australia/New Zealand.
Recommended: Japan or USA.
