Pacific Alternate

The year is 1942. The world is at war. Almost every major nation has declared for the Allies or the Axis. Europe is occupied by the Third Reich, and the British Islands have been invaded and conquered by the Germans. Only one major power is still on the sideline. Imperial Japan, already busy in its war of conquest in China, dawns to the idea of conquering the Pacific and Southeast Asia, following German successes in Europe and the subsequent weakening of the resource-rich Franco-British and Dutch colonies.

Imperial Japan has conquered most of the Pacific in a blitzkrieg campaign that stunned the world. The Dutch East Indies, The Philippines, New Guinea, New Britain, Hawaii, the Fidji’s, and countless other territories have fallen.

The Year is 1942. Imperial Japan conquered most of the Pacific in a blitzkrieg campaign that stunned the world. The Dutch East Indies, The Philippines, New Guinea, New Britain, Hawaii, the Fijis, and countless other territories have fallen. With landings in Australia, raids on the U.S. Mainland, and campaigns in Burma, the Imperial forces have expanded the Japanese realm and still look unstoppable. The Allies are now regrouping from the catastrophic losses they have taken in the last six months.

The year is 1942. The war rages all across the Pacific theater. Battles have been fought from the Hawaiian Islands to the city of Kunming in China, in Australia, and in New Guinea. Cities have been destroyed, raided, and many areas lie in ruins. Large naval battles have been fought, and dozens upon dozens of ships have been sunk to the bottom. Imperial Japan reigns supreme everywhere. The Allies are almost out of ships. But America has not yet given up on ultimate victory. Its factories are producing ships at a never before seen speed. Large fleets will soon roam the seas.

The year is 1943. The war in the Pacific enters its 11th month, and there is no sign of it slowing down. The Japanese Empire has conquered most of the theater, except for Australia and a few outlying islands in the Solomons that the Allies have been able to liberate.

1943. The tide of war is turning. For months, the Japanese Empire has dominated the Pacific. Now, for the first time, it is being pushed back. Across the ocean, the Allies are striking on every front. Pearl Harbor is under relentless assault, American industry is surging back to life, and new fleets are entering the fight. In China, Japanese armies are reeling. In the Pacific, their once unstoppable advance is slowing… then faltering.
