Description
Hornet Leader: Carrier Air Operations puts you in command of a squadron of US Navy strike aircraft, taking you on hostile campaigns around the world from 1983 to the present day. With historically accurate aircraft and weapons, you'll plan missions, arm your planes, and choose which pilots to fly, considering their skill levels and fatigue. As your pilots gain experience, you'll face tough decisions on who to fly and when, balancing the need to get the job done with the risk of degrading their skills. In this immersive game, you'll experience the thrill of carrier air operations, with campaigns spanning from Libya to North Korea, and from the Cold War to modern-day conflicts. With moderate complexity and a playtime of 60 minutes, Hornet Leader is an engaging solo experience that's easy to learn for fans of board games, offering a unique blend of simulation, dice rolling, and card drafting mechanics.
