Strategic Command WWII: War in the Pacific - Rise and Fall of an Empire
Description
Immerse yourself in the dramatic saga of Japan’s rise and ultimate decline in East Asia with Strategic Command: Rise and Fall of an Empire. This thrilling expansion delivers six meticulously designed campaigns that capture the intensity and complexity of warfare from 1937 to 1946. From the opening shots at the Marco Polo Bridge to the colossal planned invasions of Japan’s home islands, every decision you make will shape the course of history. Will you lead Japan to unstoppable dominance, or will the Allies crush your ambitions? The fate of empires is in your hands.
Unfolding Campaigns – Experience Pivotal Moments in History
- 1937: Marco Polo to Pearl Harbor - Command Japan’s forces as they march into East Asia, starting with the infamous Marco Polo Bridge Incident. Engage in the Second Sino-Japanese War and witness the mounting resistance of Chinese forces as you push toward global conflict. Can you rewrite history and dominate East Asia before the attack on Pearl Harbor?
- 1942: Summer of Decision - The Empire of Japan stands at a crossroads. Having won across Malaya, the Philippines, and the Dutch East Indies, the time has come to choose your next move. Will you invade Australia, advance into India, reinforce China, or strike Midway and set your sights on Hawaii? Every decision brings immense risks and unparalleled rewards.
- 1944: Imphal-Kohima - March 1944, Japanese forces prepare a daring offensive against General Slim’s Fourteenth Army from the dense jungles of Burma and into India. At the same time, Allied elite units like the Chindits and Merrill’s Marauders are planning offensives into north-east Burma to reopen a land route to China. Will you break through into India, or will Allied resolve thwart your ambitions?
- 1945: Okinawa - Experience one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific War. As US Marines land on the heavily fortified island of Okinawa, the fight becomes desperate and brutal. Defend against relentless Allied advances with Kamikaze attacks, commando raids, and the legendary battleship Yamato’s final sortie.
- 1945: Operation Olympic - Allied forces launch their assault on Kyushu, Japan’s southern home island. The Allies seek to establish airbases for the final assault on Japan, but formidable Japanese defenses and waves of Kamikaze attacks promise to make this battle a nightmare. Will Kyushu fall, or will the invaders be driven into the sea?
- 1946: Operation Coronet - The ultimate showdown approaches as Allied forces from the US, UK, Australia, and Canada prepare to invade Honshu and capture Tokyo. Japan’s desperate defense, bolstered by civilian resistance, could turn this into a prolonged and bloody campaign. Can the Allies crush Japan’s spirit, or will the empire endure against all odds?
