[h2]🔴 Watch the Developer's Gameplay #6: | The Attack on Pearl Harbor | Strategic Mind: The Pacific[/h2]

[previewyoutube][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hello, guys!

This is the sixth episode of the Developer's gameplay series by our team and it features the Attack on Pearl Harbor scenario from the Strategic Mind: The Pacific. In this episode, we will take charge of the Empire of Japan and attack the unsuspecting US base on Hawaii - Pearl Harbor. This event has led to the US entering WW2, so at the moment of the attack, it was not at war. This is represented in the operation, as the vast majority of the enemy units cannot fight back effectively in the first few turns. That should be more than enough to let you deal a decisive blow to the enemy base and retreat. Although, if your plan of attack did not get the priorities set right, you might find your surprise attack turning into a complete disaster really fast.

General! Our ever-vigilant intelligence service has prepared a news update, for your eyes only!
Here are all of our spy’s key findings.

[h2]Strategic Mind: The Pacific is at a 40% discount this week[/h2]

As you may know from military history, the wars were rarely waged in winter (WW2 is not the case though). But the spring time is a great opportunity to start a new campaign as soon as the temperature rises and the roads are in good condition again. So, we decided to meet the new wargames season by offering a 40% discount for Strategic Mind: The Pacific. The offer lasts until the end of the week.

[h2]Developer’s gameplay stream[/h2]
Throughout the week, we will broadcast the Developer’s gameplay episodes 4 and 6: which cover the first operations in both US and Japanese campaigns in the Strategic Mind: The Pacific. They feature the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Attack on Peral Harbor. The episode will be available on YouTube later this week.

[h2]Developer’s gameplay: campaign vote continues[/h2]
As you know we have a series of gameplay videos where our Lead Game Designer plays all Strategic Mind series titles. The plan is to cover the first two operations of every Strategic Mind campaign. The question is what to cover afterward.

We could do a full campaign playthrough, but as it will require quite a while to make the playthrough, so we ask your advice - what campaign would you be interested in the most? Please, leave your vote in the comments to this article across our community hubs. The possible choices:
1. Strategic Mind: The Pacific | United States campaign
2. Strategic Mind: The Pacific | The Empire of Japan campaign
3. Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg | German campaign
4. Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism | USSR campaign

This is it for this week’s report.

1. Strategic Mind: The Pacific | United States campaign.
2. Strategic Mind: The Pacific | The Empire of Japan campaign.
3. Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg | German campaign.
4. Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism | USSR campaign.

A tall metal box with a 25-pounder sticking out of it, placed on the Valentine tank chassis - even its lofty name couldn’t redeem the Bishop.



The Bishop was a hasty British attempt at making the 25-pounder-gun howitzer self-propelled - and like anything hasty, the attempt was largely doomed from the start. Due to awkward construction the gun’s maximum angle was sharply reduced, and its effective range was effectively halved compared to the towed variant. It forced the troops operating it to resort to trickery, such as building ramps to elevate the whole front of the vehicle to improve the firing arc.

Although the Bishop saw action throughout the African and Italian campaigns, few tears were shed when it eventually ended up replaced by the American heavy-hitter M7 Priest.

[h2]In the game[/h2]



Bishop is a first self-propelled artillery unit in the British campaign with the Gun range of 3, which serves its purpose up until you get access to a better M7 Priest model with the Gun range of 4.
