Premise:	You get to choose sides in recreating several of the most famous naval battles in the Pacific theater of World War II. It's United States against Japan, and it's your chance to rewrite history.
Impressions:	One of my all-time favorite WW2 strategy sims, probably due to my naval background. All historians agree that the one thing that stemmed the Japanese tide was the "miracle at Midway" - but what if Japan had won outright the Battle of the Coral Sea days before? What if they had retaken the Phillipines in the Battle of Leyte Gulf? What if the last legendary mission of the superbattleship Yamato had been successful? You can refight these and other battles controlling either the U.S. or Japanese fleets in this excellent release. It
