Warfighter: The WWII Pacific Combat Card Game

A squad-level WWII card game that pits US Marines against Japanese hostiles in Pacific theater missions. Players cooperate against an automated system, building teams of Player, Non‑Player, and Squad Soldiers and equipping them with weapons, gear, and skills within a mission resource limit. Each mission is standalone and plays in 30–60 minutes: assemble soldiers, assign Action cards and equipment, then advance through locations to complete objectives while engaging enemy forces. Combat resolves with a dice system that factors fire mode, range, cover, suppression, and ammo to generate narrative outcomes, and fallen foes grant experience to upgrade actions and activate support and skills. Components include dozens of soldier, weapon, action, mission, and hostile cards plus counters, dice, a mounted board, campaign sheets, and a rulebook.
