MIDWAY(1964) REVIEW and WALKTHROUGH / Tabletop Board game / Tutorial / 30 YEAR REMATCH / AVALON HILL

Watch “MIDWAY(1964) REVIEW and WALKTHROUGH / Tabletop Board game / Tutorial / 30 YEAR REMATCH / AVALON HILL,” a gameplay video for Midway on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Legendary Tactics on YouTube:

30 years ago, we faced off in a game of Midway by Avalon Hill. This is the rematch. This game walks through how to play and looks at the Tabletop Simulator interface. It's a good trip down memory lane if you used to play the game. If you'd like to learn how to play, check out our video on the rules: https://youtu.be/SotdF38lVOc ______________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/legendarytact... SUPPORT: https://www.patreon.com/LegendaryTact... INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/legendaryta... TWITTER https://twitter.com/LegendaryTacti1 MERCH https://teespring.com/stores/legendary-tactics _______________________________________________ The basic 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. The game is superior with a neutral referee for true double blind play. Developed with the technical aid of C. Wade McClusky, Rear Admiral U.S.N. (Ret.) Avalon Hill Complexity Rating: 3

About Midway, from BoardGameGeek:

The basic 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 co-ordinates. 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, anvil and wave attacks, etc. The game is superior with a neutral referee for true double blind play. Developed with the technical aid of C. Wade McClusky, Rear Admiral U.S.N. (Ret.) Avalon Hill Complexity Rating: 3 Counters: 219 excluding 16 blank counters.
