A sweeping conflict in the South Pacific where naval might leads to air superiority.

Created by Larry Harris; designer of the Axis and Allies board game.
Incorporates crucial elements that were key factors in the historical campaign; such as air strip construction; troop and supply transport; and furious land; sea; and air battles.
Introduces the Cruiser unit as well as mechanics for land; sea and air combat in the South Pacific using a randomized casualties system.
Provides fans with the historical counterpoint to the World War II experience offered by Axis and Allies: Battle of the Bulge.
Note the following errata from the AH website:
The rulebook states that players get 5 reinforcement points; plus 2 per island they control. This is incorrect due to an error in the rulebook. The correct reinforcement scheme is that each player gets 10 reinforcement; plus 4 per island they control. The game is playable either way; but Avalon Hill recommends playing the correct way (10 and 4 per).
