The year is 1942 and the Japanese navy is on the
offensive. With American naval units heavily depleted after Pearl
Harbor and the Battle of Coral Sea, the Imperial Japanese Navy is
seeking to strike a decisive blow and consolidate their hold on the
Pacific, a prelude to further expansion for the Empire of Japan.
Carriers
- Battle of Midway is a turn based game of fleet strategy and close
Carrier tactics, pitting the naval fleets of the United States Navy
Pacific Fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy against one another.
Based loosely on the actual events of the 4-7th June 1942 Battle of Midway, players take the role of either;
i) Supreme Commander Pacific Fleet of the US Navy in command of three Carrier Groups
or
ii) Combined Fleet Commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy in command of three Carrier Groups
The following Carriers form the core of the Carrier Groups in this game;
United States Navy Pacific Fleet
1.) USS Enterprise
2.) USS Hornet
3.) USS Yorktown
Imperial Japanese Navy
1.) Akagi
2.) Kaga
3.) Hiryu
Game play involves intricate plotting of ship movements and intelligent
estimates of enemy positions like in an actual war room of the
Admiral's flag ship! Early detection of the enemy fleet gives
first strike advantage, but improper tactical use of units can turn an
advantage into a fiasco!
Do you strike deep at the enemy home ports or act cautiously and take
the enemy held island in the mid-Pacific? Do you hunt his Carrier
Groups and seek a quick victory by sinking his Flag Carrier, or pull
back into a defensive screen to stop his fleet from striking at your
mid-Pacific island or even at your home ports?
As either the IJN Combined Fleet Commander or the USN Pacific Fleet
Commander, the decisions are yours to make. Victory is also
yours, as is defeat if you plan poorly!
