In 1944 the days of dashing Japanese victories in the Pacific theatre are over. But the Empire is not defeated yet and desperate to at least gain a favorable position for peace negotiations. Against the full might of the dramatically expanded US Navy, Marines and Army forces, the Japanese are determined to fight to the last.
