SCWW2 Pacific Theater - Observations & Musings

[Kool Kat]

In the "Operation Z" campaign game is it possible for the U.S to develop the atomic bomb?

Yes. The U.S. may develop an atomic bomb. I believe the U.S. must make heavy investments into the "industrial technology area" and than the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is treated as an in-game event. In other words, once the U.S. meets the research requirements for the creation of an atomic bomb, an in-game event message will be displayed during the Allied turn. The Allied player than either decides "Yes" or "No" to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And are the Allied units on the corps scale - same like Japanese? I saw that the IJA field corps and the British too, but the USMC had a division sized unit - I think that's perhaps because they have special forces status. So is the regular infantry deployed on a corps level?

Allied land units are on the corps and division scale with some units (e.g. capital ships - carriers, battleships, cruisers) are represented as individual ships.
