Designer has no concept of how supply actually works. Not every little podunk town can supply the bulk of an army, especially if surrounded and if captured from enemy. Nor can it generate replacements for units in or nearby. Even cardboard games got this right. Pushing no game end button has no effect. Game is fun to play but supply flaws make it a joke.2 found this helpful
Awesome
I love the Strategic Command series. Fun, pitched at just the right level for a strategic war game. The problem with War in the Pacific is not with the game, it is the theatre. When you game the whole of WWII strategically, there are plenty of possible outcomes. There were times when it could have gone either way. Your choices really matter and you can replay numerous times. When the focus narrows to the Pacific theatre, there really isn't much chance of getting more than one outcome - A year or so of Japanese supremacy before their inevitable defeat. S, playing as the Allies, you just tolerate a load of humiliating defeats for a year while building up your forces. then you overwhelm the Japanese. Whether you go island hopping, focus on Burma or go via the Philippines, you will win. The only real thing you are playing for is whether you win in 1944 or 45. It is slightly better playing as the Japanese in that the strategic choices you make have a greater impact. You could, for example, defeat China and then stand a vague chance of being able to put up a fight when the Soviet steamroller arrives in 1945. But really, whatever you do, you will lose and it is just a …
I'm not particularly good at it, but I love both this game and its DLC. It's fun to really focus on PTO rather than treat it as second fiddle as in a WaW game. Very challenging as Axis, perhaps less so as Allies, but then that's how the actual conflict went, too.
Started playing this weekend after watching a play through about War in the Pacific Admirals Edition (2009). Strategic Command WWII: War in the Pacific is a very tense and addictive game. Playing with the AI on expert Difficulty. The AI does a great job and it is very challenging experience. I'm in mid 1943 and can see a challenge in every theater. A big difference between normal setting and Expert. This would proved to be a tough game against a human opponent. You have to manage priorities and set goals for all theaters. Elected to play this game since I know Witp AE has a steep learning curve and a big time commitment. Will at some point have to rip that band aid off and get the Witp AE out of my system. Waiting for the next sale to pick up the game. No point in paying more than I have too. Kevin
This is an intriguing game. Once you've figured out the turn sequence
