Fighters of the Pacific

Fighters of the Pacific contains everything you need to play hours of battle over the Pacific Ocean: a huge modular board where aircraft carriers, destroyers, and a great number of aircraft fight each other. The game provides 10 different scenarios to play, all also playable in Solo mode. The carriers and aircraft represent the forces of 4 real aircraft carriers fighting in 1942.

On the Japanese side:
Akagi
Kaga

On the American side:
USS Hornet
USS Yorktown

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.
