Combat Commander: Pacific is a card-driven tactical infantry combat game set in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It introduces three new factions to the Combat Commander series: Imperial Japan, the Pacific US—with a special focus on the US Marine Corps—and the Pacific Commonwealth, highlighting Indian and ANZAC forces. As a stand-alone game in the Combat Commander lineup, Pacific uses the core rules from Combat Commander: Europe but adds numerous modifications to better reflect the unique tactical challenges of warfare in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. These changes increase the complexity slightly while enhancing depth and realism. Notable additions include:

• Banzai attacks
• Browning Automatic Rifles (BARs) and Thompson submachine guns
• Beach landings and river crossings
• Hidden movement
• Caves
• Scouts
• Aircraft
• Bayonets
• Mortar spotting
• Treetop snipers
• Reconnoitering

Each hex on the game map represents roughly 100 feet (about 30 meters), with each Player Turn abstractly covering several seconds, and each Game Turn representing several minutes of real time. Units are organized into 4-6 man Teams and 8-13 man Squads, reflecting the distinct structure of late-war USMC squads and the embedded specialized weapon teams in Imperial Japanese Army squads. Radios and weapons larger than rifles are tracked with separate counters, as are individual aircraft. Victory is achieved by maneuvering combat units across the map to engage enemy forces and secure objectives. Success is measured by scenario-specific Objective chits, enemy unit destruction, and friendly units exiting via the opponent’s board edge. Gameplay is divided into multiple Time segments without a fixed sequence of play. Each segment consists of a varying number of Player Turns, each potentially involving one or more Fate Card “Orders” by the active player. Fate Card “Actions” can be executed by either player at any time. Random “Events” and die roll “Triggers” introduce unpredictability, disrupting plans with both beneficial and adverse effects. Combat Commander: Pacific includes twelve detailed maps featuring terrain unique to the Pacific Theater of Operations. The game’s playbook contains twelve scenarios, a Pacific-adapted Random Scenario Generator with new maps and nationalities for nearly endless variety, a section comparing rules differences to earlier Combat Commander volumes for easy learning, examples of play, design and development notes, and numerous gameplay tips. This is a complete, stand-alone game; no other Combat Commander titles are needed to play, though prior familiarity with the system is helpful.
