PathWay To Glory Ikusa Islands


Ikusa Islands ships you out to the Pacific theater. Here you'll join the American Rangers (gone are the mixed European units) as they respond to Pearl Harbour in the only way they know how: lots of heavy ordnance and island-hopping. It's certainly a welcome change of scenery; the visuals, if anything, are lusher and more detailed than those in the first game and there's much more variation. You don't get the sense that you're playing on a battlefield where the buildings are the same, just in different places.You still command a squad of soldiers, each of whom has a set number of action points which can be expended on movement or firing. When you've used up these points, your turn ends and the enemy moves and fires; when they finish, it's your turn again and your surviving soldiers are endowed with a fresh batch of points.
