Looking for more of an emphasis on the military operations (wargaming perspective), with maps etc as opposed to the focus on individual stories and social commentary etc .... Any recommendations?

The BBC Battlefield series has some. Battlefield on Youtube

I didn't see any other Pacific-themed episodes in that series upon first perusal. Unfortunately, Battlefield does really focus on the European theatre of WWII. But it does a bang-up job on what it does tackle.

Yes I was referring it mostly for Midway but I thought I saw a Guadalcanal episode too.

Thanks for the tips guys. I started a battle for Luzon in 41 as the Japanese and that does not seem too well covered anywhere - with MacArthur's return to the Philippines getting a lot more focus. To the winner go the spoils .... and apparently the better documentaries as well [;)]

Battlefield is very good but very slow paced and a bit repetitive. From memory, Hell in the Pacific was good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkfNfgsqWLE Cheers, Neilster Edit: Battlefield does go into the detail you're after though. The above series is more of an overview with excellent footage and analysis.
