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.

Thanks. Looks interesting

About a decade ago, I purchased a bargain bin CD ROM for Sid Meier’s Windows Civilization  and Colonization (DOS)

$10 from one of those office stores then .

I replayed both a gazillion times on 2 sequential PC’s.

It was hard enough to get a group together as a single…
Even harder now that I am married. 
Most of the get together folks I hung out with now have kids, and even less time for such a game gatherings anymore.
After work, I can play a solo game on my PC for a while, save it , and then get back to my chores.

Not sure why you would limit yourself to just board games that would need other folks to match your schedule.

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.

@skinny1:

You can check out D-Day at Omaha Beach here:

That map looks very interesting.

I feel the same way.  I love it, but am not good at all.  That pretty sums up my entire gaming life.  :-)

Oddly Enough, I never played Pacific General.  I literally wore a hole in my Panzer General I disc, played a lot of Panzer General II, played People’s General until I realized how broken the Chinese engineers were.
