Simulates the entire war in the Pacific from December 1941 to August 1945. 1 counter = 1 army or 1 fleet, 1 turn = 3 months.In the basic version, the game does not cover the China Incident, the Soviet 1945 offensive, or the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is accounted for in the Allied set-up. Typhoon is primarily a solitaire game. In actuality, only one side had the initiative at a given time. The Japanese struck first and occupied much of the area, but after the Solomons, were unable to continue the offensive. Then the Allies, after the disastrous start, launched their offensive of reconquest and the capitulation of Japan. - BoardGameGeek
