Slitherine brings classic hex-based naval strategy to armchair admirals later this month with Order of Battle: Pacific. It’s set during World War II between Allied and Imperial Japanese forces.
We can command both sides with ”over 500 unique looking and behaving units,” and we’ll maintain our fleets throughout the campaign. There’s an in-game editor and multiplayer support.
”Iconic battles will be featured, but the performance of the players will directly influence the course of each campaign. Only commanders who know how to effectively combine land, air and naval units will have the chance to plant their flag on the multiple Pacific Islands.”
Order of Battle: Pacific releases on PC April 30th. Visit the Steam store page for more.
