Second World War at Sea: Midway

A naval campaign game covering Midway, Pearl Harbor, Wake Island and other early-war operations in the central Pacific. Eleven scenarios portray the Japanese and American fleets seeking control of the region, with optional forces for the Aleutian campaign and the U.S. battleship force. Players deploy aircraft and major warships on an operational map, then resolve air attacks and surface combat on a tactical hex map. Ships use gunnery and torpedoes, while damage can affect their engines, hulls or armament. The game includes carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and aircraft from both sides.
