Staten
Island, NY,
May 18th,
2006 - Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com/">>) and 2by3 Games (http://www.2by3games.com/">>) are pleased to announce
the release of the v1.801 incremental update for the acclaimed War In The Pacific.
This update is a follow-up to the very successful v1.80
major comprehensive update and continues the work of the expanded War in the Pacific development team. The
v1.801 update resolves a number of minor issues that were reported after the
release of v1.80, including 12 fixes and 6 enhancements. Fixes include
corrections to a combat report text overflow, float plane airgroup sizes, a few
more unit fragment issues, torpedo attack altitude and replenishment airgroups.
Enhancements add the ability to fill an airgroup with pilots with one button
click, allow players to draw replacement planes one at a time from the pool, add
a count of named pilots remaining, give the ability to load airgroups without
planes onto transport ships and make the automatic supply “push” to outlying
bases smarter and more efficient.
The v1.801 update is available online as an incremental
update for version 1.80 of War in the
Pacific. Owners of War in the
Pacific are encouraged to upgrade to this new official version, which
can be found in the Matrix Games “Latest Downloads” link in the “Games” section
of the Matrix Games website.
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.
