About Tank Battle: Pacific
Ask most historical strategy gamers about World War Two and not many would have thought there were any tank battles in the Pacific Theatre of World War Two. They did happen, and they happened often, but they never matched the scale of the Western Theatre. Starting in China in the 1930’s the Chinese engaged the Japanese using Russian T26’s and German Panzer I’s. The Japanese fought the Russians in 1939 and 1945, the Soviets with the one of the world’s greatest generals, Zhukov, in command! In 1941 the French in Vietnam briefly fought the Japanese with World War One era tanks. In Burma and India, British Commonwealth forces regularly engaged in battle using equipment that would have been considered obsolete on the West Front. Finally the titanic struggle between the Japanese and United States of American resulted in dozens of tank engagements. Even the Island War battles saw some engagements with over 30 Japanese tanks in a single mass assault. Tank Battle: Pacific attempts to create many of these battles with a mixture of historical battles and themed scenarios that capture the experience of being a tank commander in the Pacific Theatre in World War Two. Fight battles between Japan, France, China, Russia, British Commonwealth and The United States of America. The game has a wide range of features from the tank battles of Northern Manchuria to the battlefields of Burma and the landings on the Pacific Islands. The game even includes a what-if scenario for Operation Olympic, the invasion of the Japanese homelands.

✦ AI summary
Players are divided on this turn-based tactical wargame series. Some appreciate the straightforward, old-school hex-based gameplay and appreciate the unique historical scenarios available, particularly the lesser-known conflicts. However, many criticize it as a shallow mobile port with poor game mechanics, unbalanced combat systems, overly short campaigns, and disconnected missions, with several noting core tactical mechanics are missing and the price rarely justifies the experience.
The fact they were able to milk out 7 of theses is crazy. Guess the joke is on me for owning them all in the first place. But I will save you from the same fate that I had to suffer through.10 found this helpful
The entire series is very mediocre and a port of mobile games. Don't waste your time on this and get a proper PC wargame.3 found this helpful
Where else can you fight Chinese vs. Japanese armies in the 1930s? Or fight the Mongolian skirmishes of Soviet vs. Japanese Imperial army? Or the tank attack against the US at Saipan? Right here, that's where. Typical if the Hexwars tank games - fun, not too serious, worth the buy.3 found this helpful
Not sure if this is a mobile port, but it sure plays like one. Poor balance. Extremely short campaigns that have no actual connection between missions. No ability to choose deployments or troop distributions. Nothing innovative or noteworthy about the gameplay. Worth a try if you can get it for under $4, but not even close at full price. [Edit] Unfortunately, the more I play, the worse the game gets. The mechanics are very poor (no ability for tanks and guns to shoot over infantry? That's core doctrine), The campaigns are too short and with odd choices for scenarios. The damage dealt is imbalanced, and I've run into a few maddening bugs. I am no longer sure the game is even worth in when on sale.1 found this helpful
hexwar games are old school 2c turn based tactical wargames, and they are very user friendly and fun.
