World War II in the PacificWar has been declared! It isDecember,1941 and the peace-ful Pacific Ocean is about towitness the full fury of air, navaland land warfare during WorldWar II. A military-rich but

resource-poor Japan has dangerous assault forces poised to attackcomplacent Allied bases in Malaya and the Philippines.Far to thenortheast,near Hawaii,a powerful Japanese naval-air strike forceis within range of the unsuspecting U.S. fleet stationed near

Honolulu.

Alternatively (and even harder than the Dutch),play as the Aztecs,Incas or Mayans,trying to stem the tide of European domination

long enough to win a one-city cultural victory.

SengokuThe Sengoku period in Japanspans the Onin war in 1467, theemergence of Oda Nobunagainto Kyoto in 1568,and the estab-lishment of the Tokugawa shogu-nate in 1603.It was in this period

that battles, large and small, raged throughout Japan as warlords

fought for the title of Shogun.War tactics changed drasticallyfollowing the introduction of gunpowder and firearms by thePortuguese in 1543.Will you be able to battle and scheme yourway into to the position of Shogun?

Napoleonic EuropeThe age of Napoleon has arrived!Nationalism is sweeping throughthe lands.Strong infantry and cav-alry forces of a newly rejuvenatedFrance, under the direction ofseveral great military leaders,stand

ready to bring reforms to the other nations of Europe.Acrossthe channel, England is in a locked alliance with Portugal, theNetherlands and the Kingdom of Naples. Other countries areunaligned but not uninterested in the future shape of Europe.Can Napoleon conquer all, or will the other nations worktogether to contain his imperialistic motives?
