Description

June 1942, the high water mark of Japanese naval power in the Pacific, saw the most important of confrontations in the Pacific War, and the second great carrier battle of WWII.

On June 4th the Japanese navy advanced on Midway with four fleet carrier, while the US, with only 3 carriers to counter it, met them for the defense of Midway and the fate of the naval war in the Pacific. Due to great counter intelligence on behalf the of the US, the Japanse surprise attack came as no surprise at all, but the trap sprung on them by the American's was still wrought with peril. Outnumbered and up against veteran fighter pilots, the battle pivoted on US fighters ability to locate and attack the Japanese carriers before the US carriers themselves fell under attack.

This 2-player game allows players to take command of the United States and Japanese navies and replay the Battle of Midway. can you outmaneuver the foe and be the first to strike with your carrier based air power?
