Steel Typhoon: The Second Half of the Pacific War November 1943 - September 1945

This supplement provides scenarios for the second half of the Pacific War, from November 1943 until VJ-Day. The attrition warfare in the Solomons gives way to the island-hopping campaigns of the Central Pacific and up the northern coast of New Guinea. The clash of naval titans in the Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, drives the once unstoppable Japanese empire back to its home islands. The Japanese resort to increasingly desperate measures to break the will of the Allies before the empire completely crumbles. The first half of this drama was covered in Rising Sun. Larger battles, such as the Philippine Sea, are broken down into a set of smaller scenarios. Players can choose to play the scenarios individually, or can start at the historical placement with the forces and proceed through the entire battle. We have tried to provide a balance of scenarios to help depict this struggle, not only between enemies, but also the hostile environments in which it was fought. There are surface, air and submarine actions, but also the special attack units that added a new dimension to the horrors of war. The naval battles in the Pacific were fought to destroy, isolate, disable or capture enemy bases, and it was boots on the ground that wrested control from a tenacious and dug in enemy. Some of the scenarios are fictional, variants or hypothetical to provide opportunity to evaluate “what if” situations but also to keep the opponents from having a “God View” of the scenario and provide some fog of war. This version of Steel Typhoon is compatible with the Command at Sea 5th edition rules. Changes from the earlier version include different aircraft ranges, the addition of searchlights, as well as many smaller changes and corrections.
