From the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to the final Allied offensives of 1945, Pacific Fleet: Rise and Fall of the Japanese Empire is a grand-strategic simulation of the Second World War in the Pacific Theater.

Designed for experienced wargamers, players manage the full spectrum of naval, air, and ground operations. Coordinate carrier task forces, deploy long-range bombers, execute amphibious assaults, and handle vital supply lines across the largest battlefield in history.

Featuring a 7-phase operational turn structure (each turn representing ~3 months), gameplay heavily relies on fog of war: task forces and bases can remain hidden until scouted, demanding tactical decisions under uncertainty. In addition to full-campaign play, shorter standalone scenarios allow players to focus on pivotal battles such as Guadalcanal or Midway.
