Fleet Commander: Nimitz – The WWII Pacific Ocean Solitaire Strategy Game.

Fleet Commander: NIMITZ is a solo game that covers the Pacific War from early 1942 until its end in 1945, allowing you to play standalone campaigns for each year or the entire war as a linked series.

Your success will depend on balancing a strategic and tactical approach. You must move your forces across the map to achieve key objectives, while also outmaneuvering the automated opponent: the game system itself.

At the end of each campaign, victory is determined by the objectives controlled: Hawaii, Midway, the Solomon Islands, among others.

The box includes 4 campaigns (1942–1945), which can be played independently or as a connected series covering the entire conflict. Each year features its own set of counters, accurately representing historical ships, air groups, and ground units.

How to Play Fleet Commander: NIMITZ

Turns follow a structured sequence of steps. The Japanese player is controlled by the game system itself, designed to provide a strategic challenge without slowing down gameplay.

Each turn:

• You receive supply points to acquire units, improve reconnaissance, prepare battle plans, or repair damage.
• You use reconnaissance to reveal Japanese orders and anticipate their movements.
• Your forces move first, followed by the Japanese forces.
• If they occupy the same space, a battle occurs.
• After combat, Japan receives reinforcements and repairs.
• U.S. ships return to friendly ports.
• Supply for U.S. troops and airfields is checked.
