Description

The Fires of Midway is the 2nd game in Steven Cunliffe's War is Hell series. Like its predecessor, The Hell of Stalingrad, revolutionary mechanics drop you right into the seat of action as either Admiral Yamamoto of the IJN or Admiral Nimitz, USN. You make the strategic decisions that lead to the fierce battles deciding the outcome of World War II in the Pacific. The Fires of Midway explores in seperate scenarios the four major carrier battles of 1942: Coral Sea, Midway Island, Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz. Also included is a campaign game linking them all together in which players must husband their assets not knowing which of these battles, if any, will yield the decisive result and turn the tide of war in their favor - as the historical battle of Midway did. Also included is a what if carrier battle for Wake Island, and a solitaire scenario of the Marianas Turkey Shoot. Scenarios can be played in as little as 40 minutes, up to 4 hours for the entire campaign

I would have to agree with another blogger on the web who said something to the effect that once a carrier is moderately hit or worse, it seems to be over with. Keep in mind that I only played a modified version with 3 other players and each of us only had one CV with one exception, so keep that in mind but once the enemy launched their planes, my allied naval commander (who actually did have 2 CV's) was gone, dead and knocked out of the game. All in one turn with one of the CV's barely limping along. Although the tactics of the game were interesting, there is no strategy to speak of. I have to say I missed that aspect. I will go back to "Midway" I think.Outstanding game! ... do not miss this one!
