About 1942 Pacific Front
A wargame that gives you the whole theatre and one side of it. You command land, sea and air forces together, and the three have to work as one plan rather than three separate ones.
It is turn based, so there is time to think and no excuse for a bad move. Terrain changes what a unit is worth, resources run out if you spend without watching, and the opponent is doing the same arithmetic on their side of the map. This is the slow, deliberate kind of war game. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Choose your side, the United States or Japan.
- Take your turn and move your land, sea and air units.
- Use the terrain to protect what you cannot afford to lose.
- Manage your resources across the campaign, not just this turn.

Tips
- Move air and sea units together. Either one alone is easier to pick off than the pair.
- Hold a turn back when the position is unclear. In a turn based game a wasted move costs the same as a bad one.
