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.

I own a copy of the game.  As with a lot of games, I bought it for the pieces.  The troop pieces are disappointing because their plastic isn’t very compatible with A&A: the plastic has a glossy, semi-translucent appearance, and the colour shades don’t work well in my opinion.  The British-looking pieces with pith helmets have some usefulness as colonial troops. One unexpected bonus, however, is that the little grey triumphal arches work nicely as markers for A&A victory cities.

Using Eagle Games ‘Fast Play’ rules, it could be played, but there is no battle board.  In my opinion, the battle board makes this game fun.

I don’t see how you could play it online with the battle board, however, as every movement needs to be done separately.

So, dose anyone out there play this or any other similar tabletop games?

For those that dont know, its a game based on batallion level combat during world war 2. There are several different nations you can play as, such as the US, Britian and her empire, Germany Italy and the Soviet Union, along with the minor nations of Hungary, Finland and Roumania.

I started playing as the soviets during their mid-war series, but I’ve never really been more of a casual player, I like collecting and painting the models more then playing sometimes. I’ve been thinking about branching out into other armies like the Italians and Hungarians. Next month their early-war series will be released allowing people to play as France, and i’ve thought about playing as them too.

Anyone else play

p.s intresting how their release seems to mirror that of A&A?  :-D

No one has heard of AGEod’s American Civil War computer game?

My son just purchased it for $10 with Christmas Money.  He thought it would be an action game but it is not.  It is very detailed though and I’m still trying to figure out how to play it.

thanks Zero!  good to see ya man!!

the hat says ‘EVIL’ on it  buahahahahhaha  friggen pretty dang funny!!

For computer games I definitely prefer Real Time, because it’s alot more realistic and fun in my opinion. My favorite RTS of all time would have to be Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. Totally awesome games. The only turn based games I play on the computer are Robert E Lee: Civil War General, Risk 2, and Axis and Allies: Iron Blitz. All my other strategy games are Real Time, such as EDMW, StarCraft, Homeworld, Rise of Nations, AOE 1 and 2 plus Expansions, and Empire Earth. My favorite Genre of games is RTS, followed by FPS. I don’t think there’s anything like a good RTS, because it’s a thinking man’s game.

I do hate the fact, however, that the computer is capable of managing everything at once, while I can only do one thing at a time! That just makes it more of a challenge, though. :)

What I hate the most is when the computer cheats, such as unlimited money(AOE) or automatically knowing where you are without exploring(Starcraft).

It’s all good, though. :)

I know it’s not exactly turned based, but with the pause button, I would have to say Hearts of Iron. Great game once they fixed all the bugs inside of it.
