About the game
Typhon sur le Pacifique (Typhoon on the Pacific) simulates the entire Pacific war from December 1941 to August 1945. 1 counter = 1 army or 1 fleet; 1 turn = 3 months. In the basic version, the game does not cover the China Incident, the Soviet 1945 offensive, or the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is accounted for in the Allied set-up. It is primarily a solitaire game. In actuality, only one side had the initiative at a given time. The Japanese struck first and occupied much of the area, but after the Solomons, were unable to continue the offensive. Then the Allies, after the disastrous start, launched their offensive of reconquest and the capitulation of Japan.
