War Plan Pacific Announced
War Plan Pacific, an upcoming turn-based World War II PTO (Pacific Theater
of Operation) wargame, said to be in the vein of Avalon Hill's classic
Victory In The Pacific. The game doesn't have a set release date, but it is
entering beta testing now. Here's a bit:It should have been just another
December Sunday morning. It wasn't. Scores of aircraft dropped from the sky,
blood red suns adorning their wings, unleashing a Hell borne from bullet, bomb,
and torpedo. Body and hull shattered, blood and oil staining the Hawaiian waters
as most of the United States' Pacific Fleet was transformed into a mangled wreck
of flesh and steel within hours. As bad as the carnage was it was but a sign of
the days to come, as the greatest naval conflict the world had ever seen-- or
would see-- erupted upon that infamous day. Forged in the flames of Pearl Harbor
this conflict would only end in the atomic flames of Nagasaki.
Shrapnel Games is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of War Plan
Pacific, developed by KE Studios, a new development house based in the Puget
Sound region. Currently about to enter beta War Plan Pacific will be available
for the Windows operating system, price to be decided.
War Plan Pacific is a turn-based computer wargame for one or two players (IP
based multiplayer capability) covering the entire war in the Pacific from 1941
until 1945. Focusing on power projection through the use of a strong navy,
players will assume the role of the heads of either the Imperial Japanese Navy
or the United States Navy (along with allied British, Australian, and Dutch
forces), commanding a historical force mix in a total war aimed at achieving
nothing less than an unconditional surrender of the enemy. Individual ships of
light cruiser size and larger are represented, and each turn represents one
month of real world time.
