{"product_id":"thewarpacific1941-1946","title":"The War: Pacific 1941-1946","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe War: The Pacific, 1941-1945 (“TWP”) simulates the military, naval, economic, diplomatic and political aspects of World War II in the Asia and the Pacific theatres. It may be played on its own or may be combined with The War: Europe 1939-1945 (“TWE”) to recreate the entire Second World War. In conjunction with The War’s Expansion Kit, gamers can now enjoy the complete TW franchise. The game includes TW: Global rules linking the Asia\/Pacific and European theaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe War: The Pacific, 1941-1945 borrows many concepts from TWE, so experienced TWE gamers will readily adapt to TWP’s game system. However, TWP doesn’t just port European Theater rules to the Pacific and hope for the best. The game features sophisticated carrier-warfare rules that capture the unique features of the Allied naval struggle against Japan. Further, TWP isn’t just a naval strategy contest. Unlike some WWII strategy games, Nationalist China plays an active role in TWP, and a player’s diplomatic strategy in China may be as important as his military strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs in TWE, there are numerous optional rules and variants, from the Doolittle raid to Japanese Fleet suicide missions. Scenarios include Changsha (Nationalist China vs. Japan, Fall 1939); Guadalcanal; Coral Sea; Midway; the Eastern Solomons; Leyte; Okinawa, 1941-1945 Pacific War Campaign; 1942-1943 Turning Point; and TW-Global, combining TWP and TWE into one monster campaign game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlaying times range from less an hour for the smallest scenarios up to 40-50 hours for the full campaign. For those who want to run the full Europe-Pacific campaign, joining both games together, you’ll need about 80 hours to recreate all of World War Two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComplexity: High (about 8 out of 10)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSolitaire Suitability: Good\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTime Scale: 1 turn = 2 months\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMap Scale: 1 hex = 46 miles or 75 km\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnit Scale: Fleets and Task-Forces; Air: Wings; Land: Divisions, Corps and Army\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlayers: two\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlaying Time: 50 hours for full campaign (1.5 hours and up for scenarios)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComponents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 maps\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 full sheets of 5\/8” counters\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eapprox. 20 full color 8.5\" x 11\" cards with various displays, tracks, reminders, tables, charts, worksheets, etc.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erules booklet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003escenario booklet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharts\/tables\/worksheet booklet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edeck of variant cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 dice\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efull color box and lid – the big 3” deep box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGame Credits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigner: Ernie Copley\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeveloper: Joe Pilkus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist: Mark Mahaffey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distribution","offers":[{"title":"default","offer_id":39472148185143,"sku":"CPA1098","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/9195\/2951\/products\/pic4533395.jpg?v=1631129610","url":"https:\/\/isleofgamesaz.com\/products\/thewarpacific1941-1946","provider":"Isle of Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
