Description

C.V.: A Game of the Battle of Midway is a classic wargame that drops you into the midst of one of World War II's most pivotal battles. Designed by S. Craig Taylor and first published in 1979, this game is a refinement of his earlier work, "Flat Top", and it shows in the intricate mechanics that bring the battle to life. With 2 to 4 players taking on the roles of naval commanders, you'll need to navigate the complexities of grid movement, dice rolling, and simultaneous action selection to outmaneuver your opponents. As you delve into the game, you'll discover a rich simulation of the Battle of Midway, complete with critical hits and failures, secret unit deployment, and a hexagon grid that recreates the naval battlefield. With playtime ranging from 300 to 1200 minutes, this is not a game for the faint of heart - but for those willing to invest the time, the reward is a deeply immersive and challenging experience that will put your strategic skills to the test. Be prepared to spend some time learning the rules, but once you're up to speed, you'll be fully engaged in the thrill of naval combat, making tactical decisions and adapting to the unpredictable nature of war.
