SCWW2 Pacific Theater - Observations & Musings

[Kool Kat]

Anybody playing this yet? Considering buying, an avid student of the WWII Pacific theatre struggle interested in PBEMing that possibly. How's the realism and historic accuracy here? How does that look when compared to Wastelands Interactive's "Storm Over the Pacific" - and why is it not included here? Any special reasons?

Howdy:

There are (at least) 3 players on the NWL who own this title and are playing it. Myself (Kool Kat), Ashcloud, and Antoni Chmielowski.

SCWW2: Pacific Theater is an enjoyable and fast moving operational treatment of the Pacific Theater. It is not as complex as WITP and turns can be completed in 20 minutes or less. It has both scenarios and a campaign game. Operation Ichi-Go is a good scenario of the Japanese conflict in China... but the the campaign game (Operation Z), that covers the entire Pacific War, is where the real strengths of this game design are highlighted. I play the campaign game nearly exclusively.

I can't comment on "Storm over the Pacific." Never played it.
