Strategic Command: WWII - War in Pacific
Great game play and graphics, but gave 4/5 stars due to below. The game has too much unused map space -- map needs to be more hexes of 'action' area. Also, need more unit 'action' for allies in beginning other than China -- also, when I play allies, I really don't want to play Communist China's turn -- that and USSR should be set to NPC, IMO.

Furrryyyyyy!
Oh Fury Software, how I love thee. They have made a few of my favorite games of all time.. their WW1 game is one of the best turn based hex strategy games I have ever come across and one of my favorite games of all time... War in Europe is another masterpiece, and while a bit more of a boardgame than a simulation, World at War is an absolute classic and still their most popular game.. as all Fury fans know, things have been getting a bit interesting as of late! These games are still very fun but are getting less and less realistic as they grabble more abstract fronts/wars. The American Civil War game is an odd sandbox, where instead of troop build ups leading to short battles, everything gets drawn out and meanders into WW1/2 style fronts that last for months on end. Well, here we have it again, the battle of Midway is just a vague idea, and these epic island battles that define the Pacific front are just a single well defended hex or two. So! Once again, we have a very very fun game that just doesn't reinact the war very well. Once again, the naval warfare is just not simulated well.. My favorite aspect may be the China front, as it is rarely covered and again is in the best style for this engine.. front based land warfare. I love Fury, and will continue to build everything that they release.. but at some point I hope they change their approach for certain wars (I know that means re-writing everything) or! Open the history books and think about researching some other eras.. they have the best front/land based beer and pretzel system hands down, either zoom in on single battles, or go back in time before complex naval warfare! Long story short, as usual, I love this game, but it doesn't feel like the Pacific front aside from the maps and units. Much love Fury!

Doesn't represent the Pacific war well
Groups of ships and corps are not great for this theatre. Should be invidual ships and division level. China is poorly simulated in this game. I own this on Steam.
