Historical miniature war gaming is a hobby that attempts to depict battle scenarios under realistic parameters.

Planned for the summer of 2006 at Historican, The Greater Pacific War Project will tell the history of the Greater Pacific War of 1931-1945. It will feature several war games of top quality depicted in miniature with realistic terrain, rules and award winning umpires.

The purpose of the project is to advance the art of historical war gaming, teach the history of the Greater Pacific War and provide an exciting event for war game enthusiasts.
