Pacific Victory 2nd Edition

Pacific Victory 2nd Edition is a strategic World War II block wargame from Columbia Games, covering the war in the Pacific. Using Columbia’s wooden block system, units stand upright to hide their identity and strength from the opponent, creating fog of war across a vast theatre of naval, land and air operations.

The game blends elements of Columbia’s older Front system with the more streamlined Victory system, focusing on the grand strategy of the Pacific War rather than individual tactical battles. Players must manage major operations, shifting fronts, island campaigns and the different strategic pressures faced by Japan, the United States, Britain, China and Allied forces across Asia and the Pacific.

Several scenarios cover specific stages of the war, while the grand campaign lets players explore the wider conflict from a strategic perspective. This is a strong choice for players interested in Pacific War strategy, hidden-information block games and World War II campaigns with a broad operational scope.

Contents include: a large 9-panel mapboard, two colour rulebooks, eight dice and 132 wooden blocks in four national colours, with updated block artwork for the second edition.
