Pacific War

[Hobbes]

I thought it has been a while since I made a random post - came across this picture today and thought I would post it. Quite poignant - especially with the hot weather in the UK. I would love to see a decent game made of the Pacific War one day. War in the Pacific looks fantastic but would take me 10 years to play a single game. Solomon islands pic.

I was kind of hoping the next (and probably last) Company of Heroes would take place in the Pacific. East Front was a nice choice too, but there aren't enough Pacific War games out there. There's WITP, which is still a very pricy title. There's also a few RTS and FPS titles which feature the east Asian front, but not too many.

I had several relatives serve in the Pacific campaign, including a great uncle who was on the march of Bataan and spent like 2 years as a POW. The battles, the logistics, the naval component, everything fits perfectly with modern wargaming, but for some reason the gaming gods want to just keep cranking out West Front/Normandy games all the time.

If you own HoI 3 and all of it's expansions, I'd suggest this.

Otherwise don't bother. Paradox has a crazy pricing policy, but sometimes, you can get their stuff cheap from gamersgate or steam.

if you are into fps games:

it's a standalone dlc of red orchestra 2.

When you consider the amount of time spent playing WiTP, it's probably the cheapest game per hour out there, despite the high initial cost!
