Pacific Tide

The Rise And Fall Of The Japanese Empire, 1941-1945

Pacific Tide is a strategic and operational simulation of the Pacific War.

Extensively researched, our work has resulted in a richly detailed model of the Pacific War that allows the player to easily adjust that model to their own taste.

Play the Japanese or Allied side in battles, short campaigns and the East Wind Rain scenario, which allows you to recreate the entire Pacific War (Dec 1941 - Sep 1945). You will have at your command all the men, ships and aircraft that fought it out over bloody Pacific islands.
