Pacific General is the best, the third and the last of the Panzer General games that I enjoyed. (I find Panzer General 2 and 3 graphically much better, but the maps are smaller, gameplay more confined, and Rpg elements superficially added.) Pacific General has the same system as Panzer General and Allied General with an added naval combat system. I found this game both addictive and fun. There are also free mods on the internet which allow you add scenarios and campaigns. The only thing I dislike is the sickly green colored maps.

I was hooked on Panzer General. Then I got Allied General. I love the turn base play. Pacific General is my favorite. I wish you could cheat a little more like when you set the dificuly level or prestige level at the begining with the simulated radio dials - It looks like you could adjust more one way or the other but it just wont let you. Maybe there is a down load or something. I did get a down load for the enhanced graphics that was free and it really looked better with more color and detail. I love the combination land, air, and sea battles. I do cheat by turning hidden units on and off between turns and for supply and weather too. I was able to get to the end with the invasion of Japan itslef. I haven't finished the reverse play where I am the Japanese. I did pay I thought was too much for the game - but I really wanted it and I still enjoy it. I was able to order the patch with mine so it would work on Windows XP. I found where you can download patches but I was glad mine came with my purchase. Very cool game for an old man like me.
