Order of Battle: Pacific Custom Scenarios!

Post by Daniele »

It’s time to return to the Pacific Theatre!

Take a look at this bunch of detailed multiplayer map scenarios for Order of Battle: Pacific made by Erik Nygaard (great work Erik)!

They feature a lot of historical and hypothetical operations included CORAL SEA (1942), EASTERN SOLOMONS (1942), GUADALCANAL (1942), MIDWAY (1942), SAIPAN (1944), and more!

Please follow this link to see the entire list of maps at your disposal!

Get more information about Order of Battle: Pacific from its official Product Page

CORAL SEA (1942)
In the early May Imperial Japanese Navy forces sailed from Truk and Rabaul heading for Tulagi and Port Moresby respectively.
The Imperial Japanese Navy Command did not expect to find any US forces in the area as they believed all the US carriers to be damaged or occupied elsewhere.
The US had broken the Japanese Naval Codes and had despatched the carriers Lexington and Yorktown to the Coral Sea in late April with orders to turn back the invasion.
Failure by the US forces will mean the fall of New Guinea followed by the invasion of Australia.

GUAM (1944)
Guam was more important in the American eye than the neighbouring islands Saipan and Tinian in the Marianas. Guam was American territory before the war and a reconquest was important both for political and military reasons.

IWO JIMA (1945)
The goal of Operation Detachment was to capture the two working airfields and an additional under construction to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands. This battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting in the Pacific. After the heavy losses incurred in the battle, the strategic value of the island became controversial as it was useless both to the US Army as a staging base and the US Navy as a fleet base.
