of the Pacific Ocean. From British occupied India, Tibet, Nepal and China in the
West to Pearl Harbor and the West Coast of the US and Canada. WWII Pacific
Theater features the largest map yet in the series at 198x82 tiles in size.

unique unit types are portrayed and modeled with up to 30 different
characteristics and stats. To add historical flavor and replayability, over 150
different in-game events are now depicted including the Doolittle Raid, Mirill's
Marauders, Japanese Midget Sub attacks on Pearl Harbor and even the decision to
drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 8 mini-campaigns feature various
operations including Midway, Macarthur's struggle in the Philippines, the
defense of India by General Slim's courageous and outnumbered 14th Army, the
Allied liberation of Burma, the island assaults of Okinawa, Iwo Jima and Pelelui

Also included is a full "Mega-Campaign" which covers the entire conflict
beginning with the December 7th 1941 surprise attack on the US fleet at Pearl
Harbor and playable until the middle of 1947, in case you need that long to gain
ultimate victory!
