 * Keep - strategic wargames are not that widely popular or covered in media as shooter-like games but if you ask someone of the wargamer community about this game you'll get something like an epic monster wargame. AFAIR it's the only strategic wargame covering air/land/sea actions in the pacific 1941-45. --Denniss (talk) 11:12, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - GameRankings list a Review by Computer Gaming World, as well as mentions on GameSpot, as well as a review here by Bovine Conspiracy. Lee Vilenski(talk) 16:03, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Mobygames also lists only the CGW and Bovine Conspiracy reviews, and Metacritic lists no reviews at all, which makes me suspect those two are the only reviews of the game out there from notable/reliable publications. I tried Goodsearch but came up with only primary sources, bulletin boards, and the occasional Youtube video. Denniss's rationale is little more than WP:ILIKEIT, and being known among the hardcore fanbase of the genre is not a mark of distinction; if I wanted to know more about a particular strategic wargame, I would certainly hope at least one member of the community would be able to tell me about it, however obscure it is.--Martin IIIa (talk) 02:44, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- too obscure to meet WP:NGAME; the present review are insufficient to meet WP:SIGCOV. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
