Pacific War 1942 Solitaire is a single-player World War II strategy game that puts you in command of Allied forces fighting to halt Japanese expansion across the Pacific.
In 1942, Japan's advances threatened to change the course of the war. Had Japanese forces successfully occupied Hawaii, Australia, India or China, the outcome could have been very different. As the Allied commander, your task is to stop their advance, defend vital territories and gradually push Japanese forces back towards their homeland.
The game features an automated Japanese opponent, known as the BOT, which controls Japanese operations while you manage Allied armies and navies across the Pacific.

Hard-Mounted Game Board
Large, Thick Playing Pieces
Mounted Player Boards
Full-Sized Playing Cards
Rules Booklet
Custom Storage Tray
Sturdy Game Box
Key Features:

About the Game:
In Pacific War 1942 Solitaire, the Japanese forces begin the game attempting to expand their control across the Pacific and overwhelm Allied positions.
As the Allied player, you must respond to these advances, protect strategically important areas and coordinate your land and naval forces to regain lost ground.
Naval control plays an important role, as the ability to secure sea areas directly affects military operations on land. Balancing defence with opportunities to counterattack is central to the challenge.
The game uses an automated Japanese opponent, allowing you to experience the Pacific campaign without requiring a second player.
