Wargamer reviews SC Pacific

ImageDoug from The Wargamer has posted his review of Strategic Command WW2 Pacific Theater yesterday! Here is the summary:

Summary

Strategic Command WW II: Pacific Theater is a good game, although not perfect. It provides an impressive simulation of the vast scope the Pacific war from 1941 to 1945, although its representation of the sweeping offensives that occurred in the Central Pacific is rather tortoise like. Not as complex as – but much more playable than –War in the Pacific, and providing more detail than War Plan Pacific, Strategic Command WW II: Pacific Theater fits neatly into the middle ground of wargames on this subject. It tackles an extremely complex theatre of Operations and makes it less daunting. Gamers familiar with the Strategic Command games will slip into this new theatre easily, while newcomers to the system should be able to quickly move their units with confidence. Mastery of the comparatively simple game system, however, will take lots of effort, and will likely come easier to players of the Allied forces than the Japanese.
