2GM Pacific is a tabletop wargame that allows you to recreate epic battles between the United States and the Empire of Japan in the Pacific Ocean Theatre of World War II. 2GM Pacific is a standalone expansion, so you won’t need previous editions of the game to play. All the components (game board, rulebook, solo mode, art, tokens) have been revised and updated. It is a game for 1 to 4 players with a strong army-building component, where cards represent military units and the various actions they can perform on the battlefield. Battles take place in turns until one of the players fulfills their victory conditions. Deploy units on a big game board and upgrade them during the battle with extra gear tokens. Generals will have to optimize the resources provided by their nations and take advantage of the terrain to defeat their enemies. Game includes a highly immersive Campaign Book with Historical Scenarios to recreate the entire Pacific War: defend the Philippines against the Japanese attack, fight in Guadalcanal, disembark at Tarawa, penetrate the Jungle of Saipan, take back the Philippines, survive Iwo Jima and fight gruesome battles in Okinawa. —description from the publisher (español, in spanish) 2GM Pacific es un juego de tablero, tipo wargame, que permite recrear batallas entre las naciones de Estados Unidos y Japón en el Teatro de Operaciones del Pacífico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
