Carrier Battle Philippine Sea

Carrier Battle: The Philippine Sea offers a thrilling solo simulation of history's largest carrier battle during the Saipan invasion in June 1944. As the U.S. commander, you'll skillfully maneuver task forces and conduct air searches. It's a high - tension race to spot Japanese carriers before they find and attack yours. Simple game mechanics manage Japanese movement and decide the timing and strength of their attacks. You won't know about an incoming Japanese air strike until radar detects it, then it's time to scramble your fighters. This game features nine scenarios. Four learning scenarios use real - battle segments to teach you the rules through programmed instruction. The other five are full - scale, replayable games, including one - day scenarios for each day of the battle, a two - day scenario for the whole fight, a hypothetical scenario with different US plans, and another where Midway was never fought and the Japanese bring the full Pearl Harbor striking force. Based on Carrier: The Southwest Pacific Campaign – 1942 - 1943 (Victory Games, 1990), it's a brand - new, standalone wargame.

To play Carrier Battle: The Philippine Sea, first choose a scenario. If you're new, start with one of the four learning scenarios. These will guide you through the rules using bits of the real battle. As the U.S. commander, use the game mechanics to maneuver your task forces and conduct air searches. Keep an eye on the radar for incoming Japanese air strikes. When detected, quickly scramble your fighters to intercept. For the full - scale scenarios, you can replay them as many times as you like to try different strategies. There aren't any special maintenance requirements for this game. Just keep it in a dry place to avoid damage. Remember, each scenario offers a unique challenge, so take your time to understand the different situations and make the best decisions.
