War in the Pacific is a masterpiece of computer wargaming and we undertook this project with the utmost respect for the original design. Since it was originally released in 2004, War in the Pacific has provided countless hours of enjoyment and an unmatched immersive wargaming experience. At the same time, all that play has revealed some rough edges that needed smoothing and also given us many ideas in terms of how to build on the existing design to fulfill some of the wish lists players have posted. War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition is the achievement of that goal and should give fans of War in the Pacific many more years of unparalleled gameplay.
