The Devil Pigs left the Normandy countryside to fly to the endless expanse of the Pacific. A new theater of operations opens in the Heroes of WW2 range. Gone are the bocage, the European forests, the rainy landing beaches, the streets of Stalingrad, ... Make way for palm trees, white sand and clear waters. Sea, Sun and War!

As usual, we immersed ourselves in history books, adventure novels and Hollywood movies. We determined that Operation Watchtower, the battle for the Solomon Islands, was the perfect start for this new front. The forces are still roughly balanced, the Japanese and Americans are on the offensive, and the battlefield is typical of what the Allies will encounter throughout the Battle of the Pacific. 

To replay this period of history, we are proud to present Heroes of the Pacific! The core box and its Battle Pack will allow you to relive the battles that took place during Operation Watchtower, mainly on the island of Guadalcanal. Two new armies will appear. The Imperial Japanese (both Army & Navy) and the USMC. Obviously, the US Army will also be part of the game, but you already knew that.

This new chapter will be an opportunity to explore new types of terrain, such as the jungle, but will also introduce new rules, such as Doctrine Cards. We also redesigned the recruitment system to offer you as many different regiments as possible (9 in the core box, and 10 in the Battle Pack!!!) each with its own specialization.

In our most recent Kickstarter campaign, we tried a new style, Daily Breakthrough, to ensure you get the entire Battle Pack. We're going to do the same for this one, not to mention the traditional Stretch Goals tied to the campaign's financial progress. Of course, there will be other surprises introduced along the way.

We have divided Operation Watchtower into two chronological campaigns. The first will be told in the core box, the second in the Battle Pack. Two War Stories are also planned to introduce you to other aspects of this battle.

We hope you are as excited as we are to travel to the steaming depths of the Pacific Jungles...
