Combat Commander: Pacific, 2nd Printing
Combat Commander: Pacific is a card-driven board game covering tactical infantry combat in the Pacific Theater of World War II. CC:Pacific's main theme is the addition of three new factions to the Combat Commander family:
-
Imperial Japan
-
the Pacific US - with a strong emphasis on the US Marine Corps
-
the Pacific Commonwealth - focusing on Indian and ANZAC forces
CC: Pacific is a stand alone game in the card-driven Combat Commander game series. While utilizing Combat Commander: Europe's basic rules, CC: Pacific includes numerous rule tweaks and additions in order to more accurately portray tactical warfare as experienced by the participants in and around the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

-
Banzai attacks

BARs and Thompson SMGs

Hidden movement
-
Caves
-
Scouts
-

Bayonets
