1943: Race to Rabaul
Players face off in a tense push toward Rabaul, fighting each other as much as the limits of supply. One or two players command the Japanese side while one or two lead the Americans, competing head-to-head or in teams. Both sides manage scarce resources, build momentum, and try to outthink their opponents across a wide Pacific map.
