The war in the Pacific and South East Asia 1941-45 – Frontline Miniature Core Rules
This Core Rulebook is created for war games in the Pacific and South East Asia in WW2 to replay historical battles. We now offer together with our battle organizer books a complete game system for a great gaming experience. The battles were fought hard on a large area in the Pacific and its islands between the Japanese mainland and Midway. In December 1941, the Japanese started their attack against the Allies by bombing the US fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. But they not only attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, they started the same day attacks e.g. on Wake Island, British Malaya as well. The war in the Pacific raged on until the formal surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945.

Why a Gamesystem for Battles in the Pacific and South East Asia?
There are many other miniature games on the market, but mostly the Pacific is only a side notice. The battles in the Pacific and South East Asia played an important role in the war and for a tabletop gamer it has a lot of potential for modeling, collecting and gaming as well. That‘s why we decided to lay the focus on it, and of course because we are very interested in that period of time and it‘s worth to learn more about it.
