Thanks to a smooth and seamless combination of strategy, tactics and simulator, you are completely free to take whatever strategic or tactical decisions you consider best or abandon for a time all strategy and tactics and inhibit any of your units so as to take part in the fighting personally. As you play, you can develop new technologies, build and deploy new weapon systems and even change history. The game covers the time from 1940 to 1948. Playing either for the United States, Imperial Japan, or a newly introduced nation (the UK) you walk through a dramatic sequence of large-scale naval and air military operations. It has the elements of a global strategy, tactical naval war-game and an arcade aircraft simulator. Pacific Storm: Allies is an add-on for Pacific Storm, a unique game about the war in the Pacific. These nations however can be playable in the "Battle Planner" mode.I'm also beta testing Allies but here is some info from the official readme for the game ( a bit long but it gives the information I most likely would forget ): It also introduces non-playable nations such as the Netherlands, Germany, and the USSR. The standalone expansion Pacific Storm: Allies involves Britain as an additional playable faction. An example is the presence of two US Colorado-class battleships in Singapore at December 10, 1941, instead of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse. This game has been criticized by many gamers due to some historical inaccuracies, mostly due to limited types of ships and aircraft available in the game. Furthermore, players can also act as an ordinary sailor, who can man various anti-aircraft gun positions on a ship or man various gunner positions in a heavy/medium bomber plane, turning the game also into a first-person shooter. As a real-time strategy game, players are allowed to control individual ships and planes.
In the game, players are able to act as a supreme commander, handling research, ship and plane design, production, troop deployment, and many other things.
