Special Ops Issue #9

This issue collects a full strategic board wargame covering war, diplomacy, and politics in the Asia‑Pacific theater from 1939 to 1944, played in one‑year turns. Components include one map, eight pages of rules, a player aid card, 24 cards, and 50 one‑inch counters. The magazine also presents several feature articles on game design, scenario chronologies, and tactical treatment of Pacific operations, plus a designer’s preview and essays on operational-level topics. Four ASL/ASLSK scenarios are included for tactical play, with scenario briefs and sequence‑of‑play guidance for both starter kit and full ASL users.
