Description

The World War II in the Pacific saw the era of the battleship come to an end at the hands of the aircraft carrier. Pacific Command is a miniature wargame of WWII naval combat in the Pacific, in which fleets of battleships, cruisers, carriers, and destroyers trade savage blows under skies filled with fighting aircraft.

Pacific Command features a unique fog-of-war mechanic which both simulates the scale of these conflicts (without the need to play across your entire dining room floor), and the uncertainty under which the admirals had to act. Deploying your fleet first as radar blips, Pacific Command allows you to conceal the true location and configuration of your forces until it is too late for your opponent, springing the trap and descending upon him with torpedo, bomb and gun.

The system is underpinned with elegant dice pool mechanics to resolve shooting, simple movement for both ships and aircraft, and a flexible command token resource to allow you to outwit and outmanoeuvre your opponent, baiting them to commit their ships and aircraft before you reveal your true plan. With each victory, you win a crucial step on the path to victory in the Pacific.
