TYPE:             Strategy
LANGUAGE:         English and Japanese

PREMISE:          You get to choose sides in recreating several of the most
                  famous naval battles in the Pacific theater of World War
                  II.  It's United States against Japan, and it's your
                  chance to rewrite history.

IMPRESSIONS:      One of my all-time favorite WW2 strategy sims, probably
                  due to my naval background.  All historians agree that
                  the one thing that stemmed the Japanese tide was the
                  "miracle at Midway" - but what if Japan had won outright
                  the Battle of the Coral Sea days before?  What if they
                  had retaken the Phillipines in the Battle of Leyte Gulf?
                  What if the last legendary mission of the superbattleship
                  Yamato had been successful?  You can refight these and
                  other battles controlling either the U.S. or Japanese
                  fleets in this excellent release.  It makes a great
                  bookend to Operation Europe.

VARIATIONS:       Known in Japan as Teitoku no Ketsudan.  The sequel was
                  released for the Sega Saturn
