Squad Battles: Pacific War Scenario List

By Wild Bill Wilder, Game Coordinator

[Editor's Note: I am using the Scenario List file that came on the SB:Pacific War game disk, as such it appears to also be a bit Designer's Notes as well. I've also taken the liberty to add in the map files from the disk which serve as a key to where the various scenarios are located at. As such, the images on this particular disk appear to have been scanned off of paper. I've done my best to make them legible as well as trying to provide a reasonable loading time. Also, it has come to my attention that the scenarios on the chart are not numbered, this was the way it came in the file and not my omission-ST]

In this game we have tried to provide you with enough battles to keep you busy for awhile. There is every kind of engagement you can imagine. By no means are they all “Take this hill,” or “Hold this hill.” While hill fighting did dominate the war, there was a lot more action that we have included for you.

You’ll be protecting convoys, making raids, launching amphibious assaults, cutting off enemy movements, escorting prisoners of war, making airdrops, commando attacks, ambushes, and a host of other situations that you will thoroughly enjoy. Although we have tried to be as accurate as possible historically, we have also tried to make the scenarios challenging and fun to play. You won’t always win, but you will have a good time!

There are also campaigns included for those who enjoy taking a leader through a myriad of experiences on the battlefield.

The following table lists the scenarios in chronological order. If you wish to play them in the order that the events actually or hypothetically occurred, use this list.

It also provides you with the name of the scenario, the author (by initials), the date, the location and also the size of the scenario.

Scenario sizes are determined by the amount of turns and the number of units in a scenario.

I want to thank all the designers and testers who worked so diligently on this project. A special vote of thanks goes to Frank Harmon, aka “Echo 4,” our playtest coordinator, a man whose determination to see a project through is admirable.

Well done, Team!
