World at War # 59: The Luzon Campaign, 1945 Solitaire wargame covers the fighting across the main Philippine island of Luzon early in 1945. The first turn represents one week, each turn after that represents half a month. Each regular hexagon represents 6.75 miles (11 kilometers) from side to opposite side. You, as the single player cast in the role of U.S. Sixth Army Commander Lt. Gen. Walter Kruege, actively command the invading U.S. forces, while the rules direct you in the deployment of the defending Japanese. You win or lose via the seizure of (or failure to seize) key areas on the map. In turn, you're under considerable time pressure from theater commander General Douglas MacArthur (portrayed passive-aggressively by the victory conditions and six-turn limit) to be finished with the major portion of the campaign no later than the end of March. That's necessary to allow the redeployment of major aero-naval assets for the Iwo Jima and Okinawa battles. Components: 22 x 34-inch map, 228 die-cut counters, and magazine. $40.00 USD
