Release Description:
Set in Pacific theater of WW2, Order of Battle: Pacific features
playable campaigns for both the US-led Allies and the Japanese Empire.
Starting from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the dynamic campaign system
allows players to alter the course of history and even win the war as
Japan in the fictional “what-if” conquest of Australia, or lead the
Allied forces from the struggle at the beginning of the war to ultimate
victory with the invasion of Japan.
With a selection of over 500 unique looking and behaving units,
players can build and manage their army and fleet throughout the
campaign. Early units include the iconic M3 Stuart, Type 97 Chi-Ha, A6M
Zero and F4U Corsair fighters. As new technology becomes available,
players eventually gain access to high-tech and prototype units such as
the Nakajima Kikka and P-80 Shooting Star jet-fighters, Montana and
Super Yamato Class battleships and T28, T29 and Type 100 I/O heavy
tanks.
A unique system of Specializations allows players to customize their
forces with special units, bonuses and abilities that reflect the
difference in strategies and mentality of the opposing sides. Focus on
the merciless Japanese fighting spirit with Banzai Charge and Bushido
Code, establish supply advantages with the Tokyo Express, or gain access
to B29 Nuclear Bombers through the Manhattan Project.
A set of unique Commanders – split between Generals, Pilots and
Captains – is gradually unlocked in the campaigns. Commanders can be
attached to specific units to provide unique bonuses to anything in
their command range. While good use of unit types and tactics remains
the player’s priority, clever use of Commanders can tip the balance in
an offensive operation or buy just enough time in defense to turn the
tide to your favor.

support through Hotseat or Slitherine’s PBEM++ server system and you
have a game with endless re-playability.
