Battle of the Coral Sea

Description

May, 1942. Only five minutes earlier, the Kido Butai launched an overwhelming attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese sunk four battleships, damaged four, destroyed 188 aircraft, killed 2000 sailors and a hundred Marines. Not to mention the numerous other ships and aircraft damaged. Since then, the Empire of the Rising Sun has expanded almost without resistance. Now, intelligence intercepts, signal a looming Japanese invasion of Port Morseby. The only two aircraft carriers available to halt the Japanese invasion fleet are the Lexington and the Yorktown. Will they be enough to stem the Japanese onslaught? "Battle of the Coral Sea" is tactical board game designed for solitaire or two-person play. Each piece represents a ship, aircraft, or a flight of aircraft. —description from the back of the box
