Description
 
Refight the greatest naval-air-land war of history. USN Deluxe is an update of the classic SPI game of the War in the Pacific, 1941-45. While maintaining the original game’s systems, the redesign also includes rules for a comprehensive simulation that includes the entire war, from Hawaii to the Asian mainland. Scenarios include the first year of the Japanese offensive, as well as 1941-43, 1943-45 and 1941-45. There are also mini-games for Midway, the Solomons, Burma, China, the Philippines, Manchuria and others. Also included is a War Plan Orange scenario for a “what-if” naval war with the US and Japan squaring off in the early 1930s.

Naval forces are at the squadron level, except aircraft carriers, which are each represented by individual counters. Air units are in groups based on squadrons. Land units are regiments, brigades, divisions, corps and armies. The game system uses an interactive sequence of play in which both players can launch strikes, exploit errors, and win great victories. New rules include Kamikazes, armored divisions, task force markers, Soviet intervention, MAGIC, special operations forces, the China front, strategic bombing and the atomic bomb.

Components: 840 die-cut counters, two 34x22” maps, player aid cards, and two rulebooks, 2 inch box.

5 of 5 Fabulous Game February 7, 2015
Reviewer: Julian Roche from ROSS-SHIRE, Rosshire United Kingdom  
I agree completely with Jeffrey. As a board wargamer who's come to hex wargaming very late in the day, I can definitely say that whether playing solo or not, this is an engrossing way to spend a few days. What really startles is the compelling realism that defeats all attempts to outsmart the system. Some 'revised' games are apparently a disaster, it's so tricky to keep the original balance, but this is a winner. Congratulations to Decision Games!

5 of 5 One Of the Best Wargames Ever Published December 30, 2014
Reviewer: Jeffrey Vandine from Weaverville, CA United States  
Originally published as a magazine game in S&T Issue #29, this classic has been re-done by DG with outstanding results.  Adding rules, units and concepts enabling players to completely play out the war in the Pacific from Pearl Harbor until VJ Day, they managed to stay true to the original spirit of the game and both keep what made the original so amazing and expand it enormously into an even better game.  Far and away, I recommend this as the best "mini-monster" on the Pacific War ever produced.  Strongly encourage anyone with an interest in the period to purchase this game -- you will NOT be disappointed!
