    Excellent little game. A few vagueries in rules, but nothing we did not overcome Seems to lean toward Japanese but could be our rookie errors. Elegant design, simple enough but lot to think of when picking task forces Plays in about hour

    As an avid reader of WW II campaign history, this great game scratches my wanna be commander itch. Concise rules and quick playing time make for a tense cat & mouse challenge for both sides. I would love to see more games designed with these goals.

    It was interesting to see a game not originating from the USA and I was pleasently surprised. Good replay value. You will need to laminate the map as after only a few unfolding and foldings the creases are showing the strain.

    After the Post Office managed to ignore the 'Do not bend' request on the envelope, the game was still in decent shape, with only the map sustaining an unwanted fold - no big deal. Pat McCormick commanded the vaunted IJN, and by the third turn had the scale pushed completely to the "2" in the Japanese favor. Somehow with decent use of the transports I got the scale back up to "0". The result was the expected draw. Losses were close in terms of carriers and BBs, too. Looking forward to getting this back on a gaming table in another month or two. Oh, and the Post Office not only corrected their error the next time I received a 9"X 11" envelope, they called me back to follow up. Terrific!
