PAPER WARS ISSUE 112: Sinking Yamato, The Final Cruise of the Super-Battleship April 7, 1945

1-PWAR112

Low-complexity, solitaire, tactical-level (single ship versus aircraft formations) game, with three waves of incoming aircraft broken down into four sub-waves each, with each aircraft marker representing roughly twenty attacking aircraft. The player controls the decisions on starting preparations, facing the larger gun turrets, firing decisions of the multitude of AA guns, movement and use of damage control teams, and when to counter-flood to prevent capsizing. There are options for a historical or random setup, and a hypothetical scenario with additional U.S. aircraft. The rules cover fires and fire spreading, counter-flooding, strafing, damage control radar warning, and spare gun crews. Contains one 34x22-inch small-hex map and over 100 counters.
