It was on December 7, 1941, that one of the most shocking events in American history occurred: the surprise strike on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor by the hand of the Japanese Empire.

Designed to discourage any American intervention against the Japanese military action in Southeast Asia, it ended up triggering the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters, and ultimately lead to the dropping of the first atomic bombs, the defeat of Japan and the end of the War.

Today, to commemorate the 62^nd anniversary of the attack, Slitherine and The Artistocrats  (www.the-artistocrats.com) present the first official screenshots of the Order of Battle: Pacific. To view them check the link.

Order of Battle: Pacific, developed by The Artistocrats (www.the-artistocrats.com),is a turn-based wargamefeaturing an intuitive UI and great depth, which will allow you to lead both the American and Japanese armies in a dynamic series of campaigns for supremacy.

The game features a rich 3D world with hundreds of Units, 60 Commanders, Army Specializations, gorgeous animations and effects that can be turned off with a special option in order to use a classic boardgame display mode with unit counters.
