SGS Operation Hawaii

Feels more like a DLC than a game. Afrika korps/Tunesia both have full campaign options that last for 40+ turns, then side campaigns of 10-20 turns that are the phases of the main campaign. I would describe Hawaii as one of those phases of a larger game (because it only has the one campaign of 18 turns) except that it throws out some core mechanics that the other games revolve around, specifically supply. They make sense of this by, instead of the campaign being months long or sometimes the better part of a year, the game only encompasses a handful of days. That's all fine and good, except now there are supply markers on regions that only serve the purpose of possibly confusing new players and messing with old ones from the other games. (my first run, i made sure to keep my lines open because i didn't know it didn't matter; inadvertently ruining the run (you need every soldier as japan)) The difficulty: Playing as japan is understandably very difficult. However, it is made even more difficult by the low moral of your opponent. Although it makes advancing incredibly easy, it also makes it very hard to actually eliminate US forces. It *Seems* to be an attempt to resolve this by maki…

It was feared that the Japanese force might be invading the Oahu Island straight after the Pearl Harbour attack, but the attack didn't occur. It is said that Japan didn't invade Hawaii because of the logistics of waging war in the Pacific. Nonetheless, the attack on Pearl Harbour crippled the US armada, but as the Japanese Admiral, Isoroku Yamamoto, wrote in his diary, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." Here is a hypothetical scenario to explore what might have happened if the Japanese had tried to invade Hawaii, in SGS Operation Hawaii. SGS Operation Hawaii is a turn-based Strategy game developed by The Strategy Game Studio and published by Avalon Digital on the 8th of December 2021 on the Steam platform. As I have previously played several of the SGS games, which are based on hi…

[h1]Overview[/h1] While the concept of the game is good, the mechanics are not intuitive. [h1]Positive Aspects[/h1] The choice of cards affects options. There is a penalty in Victory Points (VP) for playing cards. You can make the game harder or easier if you are willing to pay the VP penalty.

A really unique subject for a wargame. A really great looking map makes this game a joy to play on. This covers the land battle as the main feature. Some really interesting events affecting both sides adds depth to the game. The limitations imposed on the US forces seems a little overdone in my opinion as I play the US in my first game against my good friend Tiopepe2. So if you are looking for a WWII Pacific wargame with a twist...then OP Hawaii is for you!

TL; DR: Very efficient and enjoyable modeling of a cool "what if" scenario from WWII. Highly recommended, especially if you are familiar with prior SGS games. This is a smaller game but it continues to build the excellent list of war titles from SGS. The game worked flawlessly. I think that some of the negative reviews may have resulted from not being familiar with SGS's system. This system is unique and there's a bit of a steep learning curve, but after you understand it it is an elegant and efficient way to model war themes. SGS has also shown willingness to create games based on lesser known historical battles and situations (eg, Spanish Civil War), which is refreshing. If you like this, there are a number of new SGS games ready to hit Steam over the next few months.

It doesn't matter if you do or don't score victory points because the game may or may not continue, and you may or may not lose regardless of the outcome. Your aircraft may attack and cause no casualties and receive none in turn, but they are routed nonetheless. Playing cards makes no difference towards your efforts either because the AI always seems to have more and better. Is SGS ever going to finish a game they create? It's Saturday 07 September 2024, turn 7, and as the Japanese I'm winning 26 to 0. I'm about to give reinforcements to a unit and the game stops and I am unable to continue without quitting the game entirely, and there's no point in trying an autosave because it just drops you back into the same hang. ♥♥♥♥ you, SGS.
