Game Description

  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. “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. Play is done on individual war charts which only show friendly fleet deployments. Enemy fleets must be found and destroyed, and the Commander with the best intelligence and planning will prevail!
