Game updated to version 1.2

Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com) and 2 by 3 games (http://www.2by3games.com) are proud to announce version 1.20 of War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945 (http://www.warinthepacific.net).

The scale of War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945 is 60 miles per hex and losses are individual vehicles, aircraft, guns and squads. Since half the planet Earth is covered by the titanic Pacific struggle, the game is massive in scope, covering thousands of ships tens of thousands of aircraft. Virtually every ship, air group and battalion sized or larger troop formation is covered in exacting detail.

While massive, it is designed to be simple to play, as the computer tracks all the factors and the interface allows the player to concern himself with only the degree of detail he prefers. A total of fifteen campaigns are included, ranging from a tutorial scenario and smaller campaign to the largest full campaign. The computer can play against you, or you can play against another human, by e-mail or hotseat. The computer can also be assigned to command some of your forces or to run all of your logistics, freeing you up to focus on the most important strategic choices.

The new update, version 1.20, includes many fixes and enhancements. Most important of the fixes are a resolution of a CD-key issue on some machines in the initial release. We recommend that all War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945 players update to this release, either by downloading the patch or re-downloading the new updated master file.
