1. Move Phase 2. Attack Phase
MOVE PHASEThe Americans go first, followed by the Japanese. A squad represents about 10 planes. Squads are represented by cardboard counters or chits. Both Players have one copy of the Strike force flow chart in front of them. Players also have a drawing of the "Carrier Box" for each of their Carriers. Chits representing squads are placed in the boxes of the flowchart and can move to adjacent boxes connected by arrows. Every squad can move once on the flowchart during his players turn. A squad must move to the next Box if it is not on a carrier or on patrol. A fighter squad can spend up to 4 turns on Patrol before having to refuel. Turn squads upside down to indicate that they have moved. Turn all of your squads right side up at the beginning of your turn. Squads On Deck can be moved below decks to rearm and refuel. A carrier can have a maximum of 4 squads in the "On Deck" Box at one time. A Japanese carrier can have a maximum of 3 squads in its "Rearm/Refuel" Box at one time. An American carrier can have a maximum of 4 squads in its "Rearm/Refuel" Box at one time. Treat Midway Island like a carrier. Midway can have a maximum of 10 squads in its "Rearm/Refuel" Box at one time. Squads landing on the Carrier Box from the Return I, Takeoff, or Patrol Boxes must chose which carrier they are landing on. They are then moved to the On Deck box of that carrier. Squads landing on the On Deck Box from the Return I, Takeoff, or Patrol Boxes are flipped face down to indicate that they are out of fuel and/or ammo. Face down squads can only be moved to the Rearm/Refuel Box. Squads that start their turn in the Rearm/Refuel Box are flipped face up. Only Fighters may move into the Patrol Box. Squads in the Takeoff Box may form into stacks called strike groups. Squads in a Strike group move and search together. You may have two or more strike groups in a Box. In order for a Strike Force to move into the Attack Box it must make a successful search roll. The Americans succeed on a roll of 1-4 on 1D6. The Japanese succeed on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. No search roll is necessary to locate Midway. If the Search roll is unsuccessful the Strike force may move to the Return I Box, or the 2nd Search Box. Fighters cannot enter the 2nd Search Box. They run low on fuel and must return. You may allow fighters to proceed to the 2nd Search Box, but they must ditch after the attack. Squads moving from the Attack Box to the Return II Box are destroyed on a roll of 1 on 1D6. If a squad is moving out of the Patrol or Return I Boxes, and cannot land because all the carrier decks are full or gone, than that squad must "pancake" into the ocean, and is destroyed. A squad may land on any friendly carrier.
American squads may attack any combination of enemy carriers. A Japanese Strike force must attack either Midway Island, Task Force 16, or Task Force 17. Task Force 16 was the Yorktown. Task Force 17 included the Enterprise and Hornet. The Americans go first, followed by the Japanese. This is divided into 4 Segments: 1. Interception Segment 2. Anti-aircraft Segment 3. Bombing Segment INTERCEPTION SEGMENTAll Fighters in the Attackers Attack box may make 1 Attack roll. All Fighters in the Defenders On Deck, Takeoff, and Patrol boxes may make 1 Attack roll. A Zero squad will destroy 1 enemy squad on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. A Wildcat squad will destroy 1 enemy squad on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. A Buffalo squad will destroy 1 enemy squad on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6. All attack rolls are simultaneous. A player decides which of his squads are destroyed. Destroyed squads are placed in a pile known as "The Drink." ANTI-AIRCRAFT SEGMENTThe Japanese Fleet if attacked may make 4 AA Attack rolls. An AA attack will destroy 1 enemy squad on a roll of 1 on 1D6. The American Carriers (& Midway) if attacked may make 3 AA Attack rolls. The Japanese carriers were accompanied by 2 Battleships, 3 cruisers, and 30 destroyers. The American carriers were escorted by 6 cruisers, and 9 destroyers.
Attacks will hit a carrier on a roll of 1-X on 1D6, where X is equal to the AS(Anti-ship) value of the squad as given in the Squad Lists. A carrier can dodge a Torpedo attack on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6. DAMAGE SEGMENTRoll 1D6 on the Following table to determine the extent of the Damage by a Torpedo or Bomb hit. 1-4 Out of Action: Hull Breach, Fuel Fires, Munitions Explode 5-6 Immobilized: No search roll necessary, Cannot dodge torpedos If a carrier is immobilized by a bomb attack, there will also be a Deck Fire: Reduce On Deck Box capacity by 2 Squads & Destroy 2 Squads on Carrier. An Out of Action (destroyed) carrier may take hours to sink or may even be salvagable. If a carrier is destroyed so are all squads onboard. Midway Island is impervious to Torpedoes, however, every bomb hit will destroy one of its 4 Runways on a roll of 1-4 on 1D6. Like carriers, Midway has an On Deck capacity of 4 squads.
