Fighters of the Pacific

Relive the intense air and sea battles of World War II in the Pacific! Direct multiple fighter and bomber squadrons to attack enemy carriers and island bases. This game has a fast - paced, streamlined mechanic. Move each plane individually on a hex grid. When you target an enemy plane, it must dodge or take damage. Some planes can use torpedoes and bombs to destroy ships and ground installations. Stay in formation to gain the upper hand. Each plane has unique speed, armor, and special abilities. All pieces are illustrated close to their historical models for maximum immersion. The CORE GAME includes a huge modular board, 4 aircraft carriers, 4 destroyers, 94 aircraft tokens, 91 game tokens, and 8 reference cards. It also comes with complete rules and 10 scenarios. The carrier and aircraft tokens represent 4 real aircraft carriers from 1942, with a 1 - to - 3 aircraft ratio. The Japanese AKAGI and KAGA participated in Pearl Harbor and Midway. The American USS HORNET and USS YORKTOWN were in the Doolittle Raid and Midway too.

To play this game, first set up the huge modular board and place the 4 aircraft carriers, 4 destroyers, and all the tokens as per the rules. Each turn, you can move your planes individually on the hex grid. Try to target enemy planes and use the special abilities of your planes, like torpedoes and bombs, to attack ships and ground installations. Remember to keep your planes in formation to have an advantage over your opponent. When storing the game, keep the board flat and put all the tokens in a box to avoid losing them. Clean the tokens gently with a dry cloth if they get dirty. Always refer to the included reference cards and rules for any unclear situations during the game.
