Read the full game description
Task Force: Carrier Battles in the Pacific is a scenario-driven naval wargame covering the carrier clashes of World War II. Players maneuver task forces on a hex grid, search uncertain sea areas, launch aircraft, and resolve strikes against enemy ships whose exact position and composition may remain hidden. Individual scenarios scale from focused engagements to long operations, and the system can be played solo or head-to-head. It reimplements the original Task Force with modern production and a streamlined operational framework.
