A solitaire game simulating the largest carrier battle in history, fought during the invasion of Saipan in June 1944.
Carrier Battle: Philippine Sea is a solitaire simulation of the largest carrier battle in history, fought during the invasion of Saipan (June, 1944). As the U.S. commander, you maneuver your task forces and conduct air searches in a tension-packed contest to find the Japanese carriers before they locate and attack yours. The game is based on Carrier (Victory Games, 1990) but is a new, standalone game featuring nine scenarios. Game design by Jon Southard.
The 2nd game in the Doomsday series (OSS), this episode covers the southern front of Europe and introduces all new political rules!
The Doomsday Project: Episode 2, The Battle for the Balkans is the fourth game in the “OSS” system; and the second game in the Doomsday series. This game will cover the battle for the southern front of Europe. The map will stretch from Northern Italy to the Bosporus and all the nations that could have fought in this area will be represented in the game. This series is made to be highly playable and to be completed in far shorter a time that is common for this size game. Low counter density and a concentration on conceptual complexity is the focus of this series. While still mechanically simple, The Doomsday Project will also have all the necessary rules to cover this theater and period.Contend with the heads of state in the unpredictable Balkans with new political rules!
