Battlestations: Pacific/Getting Started
From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
Battlestations Pacific is the sequel to Midway. As with Midway, Pacific is a hybrid game which allows players to command any number of units - ranging from the smallest PT boat to the largest battleships, and from high-flying aircraft to submerged submarines. This section of the guide will go through the basics of gameplay - stuff that is better and easier explained through the tutorial. The advantage of this guide though is that if you don't have the game, you can read this and get an idea for it.
This guide is divided, as its predecessor, into four sections: The RTS section will demonstrate basic and some advanced map usage, as well as how to create units with the support manager; the air section will demonstrate how to attack air and surface targets as an aircraft; the warship section instructs how to operate the weapons systems on warships and how to use them; finally, the submarine section shows readers how submarines work and how to use them effectively.
Before going into the fierce world of online multiplayer, be sure to read the section about multiplayer first!
