Victory in the Pacific
Board wargame
Victory in the Pacific is a board wargame published by the Avalon Hill game company in 1977 and designed by Richard Hamblen, simulating the naval war between the United States and Japan across the Pacific Ocean during the Second World War. Built for two players, the game is played across eight turns and typically takes around five hours to complete, with participants directing fleets of surface ships, aircraft carriers, air units and amphibious forces to contest control of sea zones spanning the historical Pacific theater. It draws directly on the mechanics of Avalon Hill's earlier 1976 title War at Sea, adapting that system's zone based naval combat to the specific geography and historical order of battle of the Pacific campaign, making it one of the publisher's more accessible large scale naval wargames of the period.
