South Pacific Action

History

As World War II began in the Pacific with the surprise attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor Hawaii
on December 7th 1941, the stage was set for the most brutal air battles to be fought during the war.
A woefully unprepared United States arose to fight not only a country, but a culture of warriorism.
The Imperial Japanese forces continued their string of successful victories which lead to a conquered
area as far east as the Fiji Islands and as far south as Java. This was a massive area of conquest and a
unbelievable and daunting task to retake for the Allies.  After the historic sea battle at the Coral Sea,
this was fought to a draw. The American's embarked on their initial and historic island hoping campaign
to defeat the Japanese in their own territory.

This Sunday European Campaign combat series, “South Pacific Action”, is a compilation of some of the
most important aerial campaigns fought in the South Pacific. Please join us for this great event.

This series will use a new Aces High format. It will use the Staged Missions found on your Aces High
clipboard menu, where there will be limited numbers of aircraft to fly on each side. The aircraft that
are not selected by players will be manned by the AI. These staged missions will have a set duration
from lift off to landing. Players are asked to investigate the use of staged missions in the MA to
become more familiar with their use. This understanding will be critical because of the limited number
of aircraft to fly in each frame.

The MOTD in each frame will contain the instructions for joining a staged mission. The instructions
will be complete with details concerning the side you join and the aircraft you select to fly.

Sunday European Campaign for January starts at 8:00 pm UK, 2100 CET, and 3:00 pm EST.
