Forgotten Pacific Battles (6 different battles) [from the Boardgame Geek webpage] Forgotten Pacific Battles is a simulation of the US invasions of Micronesia from February to October 1944. Specifically, this game includes the invasion of Tinian, Engebi, Parry, Eniwetok, Guam, and Angaur Island as part of the U.S. goal of establishing bases that would allow American bombers, for the first time, to launch within range of the Japanese home islands. Accordingly, the Japanese intended to deny the islands to the Americans, or at least make cost prohibitively expensive in terms of lives, as well as buy Japan as much time as possible to allow the Japanese home islands to be continually strengthened and fortified for the inevitable invasion that the Japanese leadership anticipated. Forgotten Pacific Battles, while developed as a solitaire game, it can be just as easily played as a two-player game, using the standard Fire & Movement (F&M) rules and a series of exclusive rules covering each scenario. There are individual scenarios for the islands of Engebi, Eniwetok, Parry, Guam, Tinian and Angaur. Each scenario can be played separately or as part of two different campaign games.

Refunds are the norm when Pricetronic screws up the postage on multiple purchases...wait for the invoice to avoid this issue. All items have been checked/verified and photographed. **Please review the pictures and ask all questions before you buy** All sales are final unless there is an error on my part (of course!); I am cleaning-out, not adding to the pile...or that is the theory anyway. -------------------------- All shipping is at cost. I do not make any $$$ on shipping/handling. US shipments are via USPS Priority Mail with limited insurance ($50). If you desire additional insurance, you must specify so the additional fee can be included. International shipping via 1st Class (or equivalent) at cost. No insurance is provided for international shipments unless requested (and I will need to verify availability/cost). ------------------------- I am a gamer of over 50 years.
