Players direct each airplane in multiple fighter and bomber squadrons to lead attacks on the enemy's carriers and island bases. No dice or rulers are needed, only dozens of airplanes and ships! A fast-paced and streamlined game mechanic plunges players into the heart of battle: they move each plane individually on a hex grid, and when maneuvering to get an enemy plane in their sights, the plane must dodge or take damage. Some airplanes can use torpedoes and bombs to destroy ships and ground installations. Each airplane has its own attributes for speed, armor, and special abilities, and each piece is illustrated closely to its historical counterpart to maximize immersion.
