Dedication:

Pacific War Naval Chess Game is dedicated to ...
A. Bob Coatney (USAAF, China-Burma-India), Homer Coatney (USN/CBs), John (Jack) Burgett (USN/SS-300 USS Moray), Bill Heerde (USMC), and all the other Allied sailors, soldiers, marines, and airmen who served in the Asian Pacific War against an evil Bushido empire,
B. the hope that the United Nations' Victory in the Pacific is remembered as a victory for the human rights and future of all Asian-Pacific peoples, including the Japanese, and
C. my children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna, in the hope they will never have to go through a world war.

The more we learn about the Second World War, the better our chances that it will be the LAST world war. (LRC)

A Request: If you do assemble and play this free game of mine, PLEASE let me know at ELCOAT@hotmail.com what you think of it and whether, after more than a couple games, you think one side or the other has an advantage. Thanks!
