Summary
Matrix Games has joined forces with legendary game designers Gary Grigsby, Joel Billings and Keith Brors of 2 by 3 Games to bring to you the ultimate operational campaign of the South Pacific. Uncommon Valor is the first of a three game series and we are sure that Gary Grigsby fans will not be disappointed.
You will find that you are not just playing a game but running a war! Uncommon Valor is a completely new operational game covering the campaign for the South Pacific from May 1942 to the end of December 1943. Air, naval and land battles are modeled with detail never before achieved in a game of this scale, while a streamlined interface keeps micro-management to a minimum!
As battles rage from New Guinea to Guadalcanal, you'll find you need every one of your carriers, regiments and squadrons to defeat your foe! Eighteen campaigns and scenarios are included with the game, which can be played against the computer opponent, head to head, or by secure e-mail.
The scale is 30 miles per hex, but calculations include individual vehicles, guns and squads. Phases are one day, composed of two 12-hour impulses. A turn is composed of 1 to 7 phases, at the player's discretion. Continuous play is also possible, which lets the player use a key to interrupt the game at the next turn for new orders.
