11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

John I’m guessing you may have it already, but Battle Cry 150th Anniversary edition is readily available and improves upon the previous edition with almost twice the battle scenarios.

Anyways good luck with your search.

Tolerone77, I have two copies of that one and the original, and it is a great game, but I I wanted one that plays like Napoleon in Europe and this is as close as gets, till HBG produces their new Civil War game.

Thanks for mentioning it and thanks for wishing me luck. :-)

No problem John. If I find it I’ll send you a link if I find it anywhere.

Thanks buddy! :-)

I agree Xeno 1939 game was bad ass
russkie infantry at 2$ was pretty brutal
but it was fun to use each countries special units
I think us fighters were 10$ if I remember right

If you have a computer, then this is one of the best operational games out there, super deep, super detailed, NOT recommended for the non-detailed oriented.  Fetures include: a 1-2 or 3 days “turn”, leaders managment, pilot training, resources managment, oil, fuel, supplies, production, super accurate OOB, a 40 km map that covers from the western US to India and Mongolia to New Zealand.  Best played PBEM, but playing the AI is good too.  Very well supported by a very dedicated group of designers/players.

I have this game too. It has little value. Even the pieces are too ugly and huge and are made with the wrong plastic.

Eagle was the old Helen of toy game company circa 1960’s.

All their games belong to the inside advertisements of comic books and deserve no other realm.

I knew they would be out of business before long.

If you want a good Vietnam board game, try out Vietnam 1965-1975.

It is a hex based game, using counters for playing pieces. The game is from the 80’s and you’ll find it on Ebay.

For sure, no game depicts the vietnam war better - with hidden units, ho chi minh infiltration routes.

Beware though, that the Grand Campaign 65-75 takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to play. However, there exist about a dozen smaller scenarios (like the Tet offensive amongst others).

is there ay demo’s for these 2???

thanks,

GG

Sure :))

it was a great game… and yes it did try out some elements used later in newer games.
The expansion was a bit easier than in A&A (you cant just bump a tank into a IC and then new small IC’s fly out and populate the world :D

But also remember Command HQ, the first realtime strategy game… and that also had elements that are used in A&A :)
