    • Extra Game Mode: 1942 Pacific Front

      These are a few game modes that I suggest should be added to the game. To start off, the Pacific Front 1942. Though the game modes with fewer players such as the Mediterranean Front and the other maps tend to consist of people going inactive, there are some more game modes worth the while to try out. The Pacific Front 1942 map will be from the city of Taipei (Japanese occupied) in the west to the city of Phoenix, USA to the east. The map would extend from Keton (Japanese occupied sector of Sakhalin) in the north to Geraldton, Australia in the south. The players in this game mode could be Japan, USA, Japanese Philippines (possibly), and Australia. The game should have the same provinces layout as the 1939 Historic World War map, except maybe with a few changes in nubmer of provinces and industrial complexes to make it more fair for each player. The map should also be changed to have accurate borders of 1942. Starting units would be:

      -1 battleship, 1 cruiser, and 1 destroyer off the coast of Nagasaki
      -1 aircraft carrier, 1 cruiser, and 1 submarine off the coast of Hiroshima

      This game mode would start off with some things already researched, as the Historic World War 1939 mode does. There are 4 playable countries: Japan, Japanese Philippines, USA, and Australia. The rest are AI. There will be no specified teams or coalitions in this game at the beginning, thus it is possible for Japanese Philippines to attack Japan and so on. There should also be no coalitions, meaning only 1 player could win. Interesting isn't it! I hope this decent game mode will be added into Call of War sometime soon.
