- Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com)
and 2 by 3 Games (www.2by3games.com) are pleased to
announce the release of the sixth post-release update for the acclaimed War In The Pacific.

This update focuses
on some minor bug fixes and a multitude of subtle map changes to better mimic
the War in the Pacific.  The bug fixes number just over 20 fixes and
changes to the War in the Pacific
system.  Some of the more important
items include fixes involving the capture of enemy bases, the loss of
experience when replacing large numbers of soldiers in a unit, and unit ?all
follow? commands.  Additionally, there
are 41 map changes that more accurately depict the war.  They are all minor in size but may play a
major role in forming new strategies in a few specific areas of the world.  Special Matrix Games and 2by3 thanks to a
dedicated fan, Andrew Brown, for these map improvements.

The v1.60 update is
available online as a non-comprehensive update that requires the previous
installation of War in The Pacific
1.50. 

Based on the highly
acclaimed Uncommon Valor design, War In the Pacific is an expanded and
massive undertaking that has been recognized as another masterpiece from the
veteran team at 2by3 Games, which includes Gary Grigsby, Keith Brors and Joel
Billings.

The scale of War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan
1941-1945 is 60 miles per hex and losses are individual vehicles, aircraft,
guns and squads. Since half the planet Earth is covered by the titanic Pacific
struggle, the game is massive in scope, covering thousands of ships tens of
thousands of aircraft. Virtually every ship, air group and battalion sized or
larger troop formation is covered in exacting detail.
