Lone Sherman: The Pacific is a solitaire book wargame designed and self-published by Mike Lambo. The game puts the player in charge of a single Sherman Tank and its crew on several Pacific Islands in World War II and tasks the player with navigating the lone tank through very challenging scenarios based on several of the island hopping campaigns including Saipan, Tarawa and . While this game is not a “narrative driven” solitaire game as such, with a little imagination it will provide memorable stories and really keeps you on the edge of your seat as you roll your dice, choose your actions and hope for the best. Some events are randomly generated in the game, but the player always has at least some degree of control over the level of risk they wish to take and how vulnerable they leave their tank to these events. This typically manifests itself in your position on the board, how near you are to enemy units and what condition your tank is currently in and whether you pause your attacks to repair or extinguish fires.
