# Battlestations Pacific: an incremental Win32 C++ reconstruction

> Reconstructs Battlestations Pacific's Win32 executable routine by routine as compilable MSVC C++ from Ghidra analysis. Addressed ledgers record ABI details, evidence, and uncertainty, while a milestone-based executable and focused probes exercise recovered subsystems.
