Bolt Action: Empires in Flames: The Pacific and the Far East

Bolt Action

by Warlord Games, Peter Dennis (Illustrator)

Far from the battlefields of Europe and North Africa, Allied forces fought a very different war against another foe, from the jungles of Burma to the islands of the Pacific and the shores of Australia. This new Theatre Book for Bolt Action allows players to command the spearhead of the lightning Japanese conquests in the East or to fight tooth and nail as Chindits, US Marines and other Allied troops to halt the advance and drive them back. Scenarios, special rules and new units give players everything they need to recreate the ferocious battles and campaigns of the Far East, from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, Singapore, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and beyond.

I am a little sad that a game book about WWII in the Pacific would basically ignore American involvement until 3/4 of the way into the book. There is lots of cool info on the Chinese and Common wealth campaigns, however. With that aside, there are lots of cool new scenarios and special rules that help set this theater apart in the Bolt Action game.
