It is the morning of the 7th December 1941 and hundreds of Japanese aircraft are taking off from aircraft carriers a few hundred miles north of Pearl Harbor. Further west, Japanese bombers are preparing to launch an even more devastating raid on US aircraft in the Philippines, while Japanese landing craft are at this moment poised to land the first elements of a Japanese army on the coast of Malaya. This is war!
Special: It is possible that Japan may continue to fight on from Seoul after Tokyo and Kyoto have fallen. In this case the Allies will need to capture Seoul for these victory conditions to apply. (Stock Scenario)

Operation Z (Campaign game) was the Japanese plan for the conquest of the Pacific in WW2. Japanese need to be aggressive early on and occupy key objectives - Philippines, Burma, Indochina, and large parts of China. Than, he needs to decide on either conquering all of China, India, Australia, Hawaii, or even the United States west coast! The Allied player starts out with few units and resources, but over time (as historically) the full weight of the United States industrial capacity will be felt in the game. Interesting and fascinating look at strategic operations in the Pacific Theater.

It seems a bit oversimplified in its mechanics and basic assumptions, but somehow it did manage to caught the the inherent theater dynamics.
