About the Game

A turn-based, text-based wargame recreates the Battle of Midway, fought from June 4 to June 7, 1942. Each turn represents one hour of combat, and the player commands Task Forces 16 and 17, which include the aircraft carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown, as well as Midway Island. The task forces move across a map while scout planes search for the Japanese fleet, consisting of the carriers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu.

Once an enemy force is identified and within range, a strike group can be launched from nearby ships. Aircraft may be below deck, preparing for launch on deck, or flying to or from a target; fighters can also patrol the air to protect their carriers. The game ends when either side loses all its carriers or a task force leaves the map.
