We Must Tell the Emperor: The Great Pacific War, 1941 to 1945

A solitaire strategic simulation of Japan’s conduct in the Pacific Theater, 1941–1945. The player acts as Japan’s military and political leadership, managing oil, prestige, and forces while responding to randomized headline events that drive enemy offensives and resource crises. Gameplay combines area control and campaign decision-making with a Battle Table for resolving major engagements at sites like the Coral Sea, Midway, and Iwo Jima. Units represent Allied fronts and turns cover variable weeks; China, submarine warfare, island fortifications, and special options such as kamikaze attacks influence outcomes. Plays in about an hour and emphasizes crisis management, timing, and luck.
