Gold - War Plan Pacific

Shrapnel Games announces War Plan Pacific is gold, saying the World War
II naval grand strategy wargame will be released on December 16, even though the
War Plan
Pacific Website still refers to testing of a gold candidate. This one or two
player game puts players in the role of commander of the Japanese or Allied side
in the pacific theatre in a war that can be completed in a single sitting, as
the game is designed to be playable in under three hours. Word is: "Fans of
board wargames will feel right at home with War Plan Pacific, especially for
those that recall Avalon Hill's Victory in the Pacific or who currently enjoy
MMP's Fire in the Sky. Rather than tracking every bean and bullet in the
theater, War Plan Pacific uses individual ships of light cruiser size or larger,
air groups, amphibious transport groups, and convoys on a point to point map of
the Pacific from Singapore to San Francisco. Each turn represents one month of
time, and there are three starting situations (one historical, two hypothetical)
to game."
