That way we wouldn't be fighting the same war over and over again. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll be happening.

Gary Grisby came up with a sequel to that game in 2004 called
War in the Pacific. It has every ship down to the PT boat level. Plus every fighter group, bomber group, division and brigade. A great game but the AI is overwhelmed in playing it. Even between two human players the one day turns means the game takes months to play. It would probably require a program of this complexity running behind the scenes to account for your impact and everyone's elses on the war. A link to the game if any are interested....
