Avalon Hill's MIDWAY / HOW To PLAY / Old School BOARD GAME / Digital Version

Description provided by Legendary Tactics on YouTube:

This was the first Avalon Hill game I owned. In this playthrough, we take you through the basics in a rules tutorial to teach you how to play. Kick back for a nice throwback game tutorial. If you would like to see a playthrough of this great game, check this out: https://youtu.be/oFZ0F3w141w The idea is each player has his or her own map of the area (in this case the Midway Island) behind a screen. Each player "searches" for the enemy fleet by flying search planes to the various zones on the map and calling the zone coordinates. Once found, bombers can be sent in to sink the enemy fleet. The actual attack is fought on a separate battle board where the ships are first placed on a rectangular grid and the attacking planes are placed in adjacent rectangles or on top of the ships themselves to indicate which ship they are attacking. The basic game is very simple. But there are a number of additional rules, which add realism and complexity: CAP fighters, surface actions, bases, inaccurate search reports, etc. Music "The Duel" from www.bensound.com ______________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/legendarytact...
