"As soon as I had seen this advertised I knew that I need to get a copy! A quick flick through as got me really excited at the potential of this system especially as I have a good selection of usable kit from the Fighters of the Pacific game (aside from the base game I also have the Midway and Coral Sea expansions) so would not need to invest in a ton of models. I even have the poker chips and decks of cards required for play! I have played a lot of Pacific carrier boardgames via Flat Top, CV, Guadalcanal and Midway. These have given me some of my best ever gaming experiences over the years but I have never really considered it as being viable for the use with models. I flirted briefly with Axis and Allies: War at Sea range for the Pacific but never really made much progress with it – mainly due to the range of models being quite modest along with the scale being too large (1:1800th) for normal use. Pacific Command gets around this by the simple expedient of ignoring model scale entirely – a single ship represents a task force with all measurements being made from the conning tower. Purely representational indeed! I have no problem with this level of abstraction but some might so if you want formations of exquisitely painted models these rules, at first glance, may not be for you!…"
