Order of Battle: Pacific

Grand strategy games have, typically, always failed to get naval forces right. Order of Battle: Pacific hits it crack on the head, making just the act of transporting from island to island in the pacific a tactical joy. And that's just the start. It's a Panzer General-like serious wargame, but with an unprecedented level of approach that combines detail, pace, and challenge to create a compelling battle against Japanese forces.

Rob found it a history buff's paradise when playing it for review, and the best wargame he's played all year.
