About 1942 Pacific Front

War and battles are all about strategy, though numbers and power can help to swing the tides in your favor.
This game is about using everything you can call to the field and the field itself to your advantage.
The enemy can throw all sorts of things at you and you need to be ready to respond effectively.
If you don't, then it's only a matter of time before you're overrun.
You may need to sacrifice units, but there's a limit to how much your side can take before you'll need to think about retreating.
You can't let it end without using your best tactics, especially as you command a tactical army hex map across land and sea.

Tips and Tricks

You want to make sure that your starting forces last as long as possible.
Don’t resupply or order new units until you’ve made some progress to where you’re defending.
Always remember to use terrain when engaging and setting up traps and counterattacks.
