Game is unpunched and unplayed, missing shrinkwrap. The original USN came out a long time ago in Strategy & Tactics #29 back in the 70s. At that time it was considered a “mini-monster” as it had one map with around 400 counters. The game was complex as were most games of that era, but it also proved to be a popular simulation of the Pacific theater in WW2. Decision Games has reissued USN as USN Deluxe, or USND, with more counters, larger maps, and additional scenarios/campaigns. USN Deluxe is a two map simulation of the Pacific Theater in WW2 with weekly turns and many different options for playing, from two turn Coral Sea and Midway scenarios to a full blown campaign covering the entire war. The emphasis is on strategic operations, but with a combat system on a much lower level, giving the game an operational level feel at times. The game also features extensive focus on logistics and bases, which were of critical importance to the campaign. Although not as thorough as War in the Pacific, which it is sometimes compared to as a mini-version, it is completely different than other popular Pacific games such as Empire of the Sun or AH’s Victory in the Pacific. USND comes in a box with two 22 x 34 maps, 700+ counters, rules, a scenario book, and several charts. The maps are good and bad. The hexes are slightly larger than normal and read more
