I want to buy but

Concentrate on directing one country or command several to lead an alliance of nations. Engage in battle over the vast Pacific with 16 unit types modelled with an intuitive supply system and more.

Indeed, the game does not replay history. Every play can be a different story about WW II.

You just gave me a headache looking at that map.
That's nice for a wall poster, but I wouldn't want to play a game like that.

Look at some of the mods of the sister game TOW. There are a lot of options to play.

Yup if you want pure fiction this is the game for you.

I respect your opinion, however any game, computer or broad is pure fiction form certain point of view as it is a matter of subjective approach. Most probably what you call "pure fiction" is a balance issue which is being discussed on the board for some time. Some players like it the other don't. So If I may ask you what exactly make you think this way (Japaneses AI invades Hawaii while a human players doesn't defend it properly or too early Japanese operation against India?) and how according to you it can be improved that would be really constructive! I mean the game as any other game has its strong and weak points, but remember that our maxim is we are here to improve it!

Thanks everyone for your input. I just want to clarify that this is a good game and I really like it! That is why I want it to look good. Sometimes I don't express my opinions in a constructive way, and for that I am sorry. You guys, at Wasteland, seem like a decent bunch and I want to support you.
A kind soul has taken pity on me and agreed to guide me through the mod installation process, so I suppose that will solve my problems.
Have a good day![8D]

You have divorced reality from the game when you provide the Japanese with to many troops and to many Naval capabilities. When you further emasculate the ability of the allies to do anything about it. The Japanese accomplished a lot of military victories in those first 6 months. But your game simply provides them with to much too soon and creates a non historical situation.

You are correct of course it is just a game. However selling it as a recreation of the Pacific theater in WW2 is a stretch.
