Carrier Battles WW2: Admiral of the Fleet
Admiral of Fleet: Carrier Battles in WW2 is a real-time, tactical naval warfare simulation game focusing on carrier battles in WW2. It features 20 scenarios covering the naval battles between carriers in the early stage of the war, from December 1941 to the end of 1942, before US mighty industry tipped the balance in her favor and finally overwhelmed Japanese resistance. You are posted as overall commander of the battles on either Allied or Japanese side, as you may choose, and tasked with various missions, such as protecting your islands, destroying enemy fleet, or securing enemy controlled territory.
Features:
- You’ll be able to manage the deck and hangar on each of the carriers under your command, and organize ship-borne reconnaissance, combat air patrol and air strikes against enemy ships and land targets.
- You’ll be able to command land-based aircraft, if available in the battle, to protect your islands, search enemy ships and launch air strikes against them.
- You’ll be able to command land units, if available in the battle, to land on enemy controlled territory, or the other way around, to thwart enemy amphibious assault.
- You’ll be able to deploy your fleet and adjust the composition of your carrier-borne air group in most of the battles.
- Each battle map, covering an area of up to 3000km x 3000km, is built on satellite verified terrain data (mountains, hills, plain, river etc), land cover data (forest, grassland, desert etc.).

OK big Leaguers, this game is fun! Reminds me of the old Carrier Strike game. Easy to learn.
Now that I have a few hours of play, I can quibble about minor annoyances, and will later, but the basic game-play is FUN. Send out your search planes, find the enemy task force before they find you, and sick your cap, dive bombers, and torpedo planes on them.
Developers should play the steam game 'Fleet Command', a lot of great ideas can be had that would improve this game even more.
Developers have already fixed most of my quibbles with game patch updates!
Off to play another round...Toodleoos!

This is a game well worth supporting. Yes a few bugs, but oh boy...the potential! The devs are active in the forum and bug reporting and suggestions are constructive. Report for duty, Admiral!

Very early days (I've ready the manual and played around for a few minutes as I need UI scaling to actually be able to do much) but I like what I see from a tabletop wargaming perspective. Clearly needs some polish--but from the developer's responsiveness thus far I think that will come. So if you're looking for something to pick up, probably take a pass for now. Hardcore wargamers though should find this an interesting and fun way to burn an evening as development and tweaking continues.
