About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to land on the Pacific islands! This expansion for the acclaimed Memoir '44 throws you right into the action of World War II, but with a completely new twist: you'll now command either the Imperial Japanese forces or the US Marines. Forget Europe for a moment and dive into the dense jungles, sandy beaches, and challenging terrains that defined this theater of operations. The expansion brings not only a new army to play with but also new command rules that add a special flavor to Japanese and American tactics. The modular board continues to ensure that every battle is unique, and the battle card and dice rolling mechanics, which have already made the series famous, are back in full force to simulate the unpredictability of combat. If you enjoy Memoir '44 and want to explore one of the most intense scenarios of the war, this expansion is a must-have. It's a great addition for those seeking more variety within the already fantastic Memoir '44 universe, bringing new strategic and historical challenges to the table. Prepare your rifles and good luck, soldier!
