About the game
Decription from the publisher: Before World War II America anticipated a war with Japan and created Plan Orange. Hell in the Pacific allows owners of the classic Victory in the Pacific to test out a war between Japan and America in 1931 or 1935. It is a conflict unlike the actual Pacific war, dominated by fleets of battleships, with aircraft playing an important, but largely supporting role. France and Britain can be drawn into the war if the Japanese are overly aggressive. Also included are rules for Japanese fuel shortages and optional rules for players of the Avalon Hill classic.
