Pacific Battles is an easy to learn but difficult to master turn based strategy game playing in the Pacific in World War II for 1-2 player. You control your fleet either on the US or the japanese side playing on a 8x8 board similar to chess but with more complexity!
Every player can move and attack using three units during one turn. Every unit has its own move range and attack range. After moving a ship within its range you can attack the enemy if its nearby. As soon as youve made your moves, the enemy takes over and performs a counter attack.
Every attack is computed that way: Beside the attack points there are some more things which are calculated in. There are critical hits (1% probability) as well as misses. Plus there are combinations where the attacking ship makes only a damage of 50%. The following list shows the main targets where
a damage of 100% will be made (attacker -> targets):
CV (Carrier vessel) -> DD, CA, CL
BB (Battleship) -> CV, BB, CA, CL
CA (Cruiser) -> CL, BB, CV, DD
CL (Light Cruiser) -> DD, PT
DD (Destroyer) -> SS, PT
SS (Submarine) -> CV, BB, CA, CL
PT (Patrol Boat) -> SS, CV
