Fire in the Sky: The Great Pacific War 1941-1945

A strategic-level simulation of the World War II Pacific Theater covering naval, air and land operations from 1941–1945. Players manage carrier task forces, convoys, troop transports and logistics across a single integrated map that blends hexes and area movement. Play emphasizes the interaction of long-range air power and slower naval and ground movement, with fuel, convoy protection and transport capacity shaping operational choices. The game uses a compact counter set and rules that model carriers, amphibious assaults and supply concerns to recreate the operational dilemmas faced by the historical commanders, while remaining playable in about five hours.
