Simulating the Pacific Front of World War II has always been one of the great wargame design challenges. The same distance that planes could cover in a few hours took days for ships and weeks for foot soldiers. Hostile jungles and great oceans combined to make logistics and transport of paramount historical concerns. These and other design puzzles are solvable by only the most gifted designers.

Renowned Japanese wargame designer Tetsuya Nakamura has successfully met these challenges and MMP is now proud to offer the elegant result -- Fire in the Sky.

Fire in the Sky has, until now, only been available in Japanese. But one of the most popular games ever made in Japan is now finally being made available to the English- speaking world, and we know that you will be pleased and excited to learn that "gaming the ungameable" is not just a possibility, but a reality.

With only one map and 180 counters, Fire in the Sky packs years of prior Pacific design attempts and experience into an effort that beautifully distills the essence of the conflict and serves as further proof that great things do indeed come in small packages.

Fire in the Sky provides players with the same problems and perspectives faced by the historical combatants, yet does so in a game that can be played in 5 hours or less. The game is ingeniously balanced and so provides not only a look into the minds of the actual commanders, but also a fun, competitive and tense gaming experience.

The game includes glorious 1-inch counters, a clever map that integrates hexes and areas, and rules that cover all of the essential aspects of the Great Pacific War. Oil convoys and troop transports are as vital to victory as the massive Carrier fleets that steam over the vast Pacific. Nakamura's intelligent and ingenious design also offers Western players a fascinating glimpse into the Japanese perspective on the war.

Don't miss this opportunity to acquire and enjoy one of the most sought after and exciting games of our time.
