Combat Commander : Pacific

COMBAT COMMANDER: PACIFIC is a card-driven board game covering tactical infantry combat in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

Combat Commander : Pacific's main theme is the addition of three new factions to the Combat Commander family:

• Imperial Japan
• The Pacific US - with a strong emphasis on the US Marine Corps
• The Pacific Commonwealth - focusing on Indian and ANZAC forces

Combat Commander :Pacific is a stand alone game in the card-driven Combat Commander game series.  While utilizing Combat Commander: Europe's basic rules, Combat Commander: Pacific includes numerous rule tweaks and additions in order to more accurately portray tactical warfare as experienced by the participants in and around the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

• Banzai attacks
• BARs and Thompson SMGs

• Caves
• Scouts
• Aircraft
• Bayonets
