Pacific Command Wargame Rulebook

Pacific Command

Introducing Pacific Command, a thrilling naval miniatures wargame that immerses players in the intense carrier battles of the Pacific during the Second World War. Authored by Mike Hutchinson and illustrated by Edouard A. Groult, this first edition paperback rule book from Osprey Wargames is essential for enthusiasts of WWII naval combat.

In Pacific Command, players command fleets of battleships, cruisers, carriers, and destroyers as they engage in fierce combat under skies filled with fighting aircraft. The game features a unique fog-of-war mechanic that simulates the scale and uncertainty of these historical conflicts, allowing admirals to deploy their fleets as radar blips. This clever mechanic conceals the true location and configuration of forces until the perfect moment to strike.

The gameplay is underpinned by elegant dice pool mechanics that facilitate swift resolution of both air and sea battles. A tense reconnaissance system adds an extra layer of strategy, while a flexible command token resource allows players to outwit and outmanoeuvre their opponents. Players can bait their enemies into committing their ships and aircraft before revealing their true plans, making each decision critical on the path to victory in the Pacific.

Whether you are a seasoned wargamer or new to naval combat, Pacific Command offers an engaging and strategic experience that captures the essence of WWII carrier battles.
