Simulated are the major political, military, and economic events of the war from 1941 through 1945, as Japan fought the United States for mastery of East Asia and the Pacific. Two scenarios and a campaign game chart the course of the war." Data for Second (boxed) edition 1979: 1 large map; 3.5 countersheets; 840 counters. Map and Time Scale: 200km/hx; 3 months/turn. Land units are corps and armies; naval units are multi-ship formations. Source: Text on the Sides of the Box, and (for time scale) a BGG review.
