Down in Flames: Operation Leader 1943

A carrier strike campaign set during a 1943 raid on German shipping off the Norwegian coast. Players command carrier air groups and escort ships, planning launch waves, assigning fighters and strike aircraft, and resolving bombing and torpedo attacks against convoys and coastal targets. The scenario supports solitaire or two-player play and integrates with required carrier and aircraft air-combat modules. Play emphasizes mission planning, timing of launches, aircraft losses to flak and fighters, and damage to merchant and naval targets as the task force attempts to strike and withdraw.
