Carrier Battle: South Pacific is a solitaire simulation of the great aircraft carrier battles fought off Guadalcanal and in the Coral Sea in 1942. Featuring the programmed learning method - implemented in a Play Book, while the main rule book is written in sequence of play order for reference - this design gets you into the action ASAP, introducing a few rules at a time as you enjoy a series of 8 training scenarios. Even the map adapts as you learn, with swappable Sequence of Play plates detailing only the steps relevant to your current experience level.

This design is highly replayable, with no hidden elements to compromise replay. Once you're ready to take full command, you'll find endless opportunities with six full-scale scenarios covering battles which could or might have occurred (including the possibility that the ‘Midway' effort was made in the South Pacific instead), a complete scenario generation system, and an updated version of the famous Final Countdown scenario in which the USS Nimitz takes on the entire Japanese Navy!

As the US commander, you will maneuver your task forces, both carrier and surface, as well as aircraft of the Cactus Air Force at Henderson Field, and conduct air searches in a tension-packed contest to find and strike the Japanese before they find and strike you.

The game's mechanics - derived from those of Carrier Battle: Philippine Sea and also the original Carrier (Victory Games), and updated based on much recent research - drive Japanese actions in a way that is both challenging to beat and true to history. You will not know that a Japanese air strike is headed your way until you spot it on radar and scramble your fighters to intercept. Using your aircraft and flight deck space efficiently, and planning ahead - because your fighters climb slowly, and the Japanese can show up suddenly - are key skills in the game.
