War in the Pacific Admiral Edition gets a massive update! Battleships are back on the Pacific Ocean! We are very proud to announce that one of the biggest updates of all time is coming today. Indeed, even if War In The Pacific Admiral’s Edition was already the most detailed wargame focused on the Pacific theater ever, this update is going to push the boundaries of awesomeness still further! Thanks to dozens of changes and enhancements, version 1.01.24 will live in the community’s memory for a very long time.

War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition Patch v1.102. This expansion for War in the Pacific adds improvements and changes to enhance game play, and features a waypoint system for Task Force movement, the entire war in the Pacific on one map, conversion of ships between classes as well as multiple upgrade levels and much more.

As it’s impossible to list all of the gameplay and technical improvements here, I invite you to click on this link to get access to the huge changelog associated with this patch. Get it here: Change log. Based on the award winning War in the Pacific from 2 by 3 Games and Matrix Games, the standalone expansion, Gary Grigsby’s War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition, adds significant improvements and changes to the original title to enhance game play, improve realism, and increase historical accuracy. With dozens of new features, new art, and engine improvements, War in the Pacific - Admiral's Edition is the most realistic and engrossing WWII Pacific theatre game available.

The immense scale is 40 miles per hex with losses covering 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. There are 15 campaigns included with the game, which can be played against the computer opponent, hot seat, and by secure email. Combined with a robust and time-proven engine, War in the Pacific – Admiral’s Edition gives you the chance to fight the entire war your way on every level. As some are already aware, I purchased War in the Pacific: Admirals Edition (WitP:AE) when it was on sale for 50% off the usual price of $79.99 USD at Matrix Games. Just recently I worked up the nerve to crack open the manual. Asid warned me--several times--not to purchase the game as he feared I would never be seen nor heard from again.

I have no regret for purchasing the game--yet. 'Study sim' is an understatement when describing this game. One customer wrote ' WitP-AE is THE magnum opus of all wargames, a true masterpiece of research and detail. The game is not for the faint of heart, however. It is easy to become intimidated by the depth and scope of the game which covers the entire Pacific war from the West Coast USA, westward to the tip of the horn of Africa.' Another customer, however, was not nearly as enamored with WitP:AE and wrote ' It took less than 30 minutes for me to determine that this game is so bogged down in minutiae that it is unplayable for all realistic purposes.To top it all off, with one-day turns, it will take almost as long to play the full war scenario as the real Pacific War took to fight.

I spent 50 bucks on this game and uninstalled the game the same afternoon. Avoid this like the plague.' So, choose your poison.

Clearly this game is not for everyone--or the faint at heart. You must be the type of person who loves the details and as the one reviewer wrote 'the minutiae'. The process of issuing orders during just the first turn of the full campaign will take the better part of the day to complete--for just that one turn.and if you don't appreciate or understand the importance of logistics, you are doomed to failure and frustration. Logistics: War in the Pacific purports to model logistics to the n th degree. As I mentioned, if you fail to grasp its importance your experience will suffer. Let me quote some experts on the matter to drive my point home: 'Clearly, logistics is the hard part of fighting a war.' Cook, USMC, November 1990 'Gentlemen, the officer who doesn't know his communications and supply as well as his tactics is totally useless.'
