Recon! Skyhawk: Rolling Thunder, 1966 (Narrative-driven solitaire)

Description provided by Wayne Hansen on YouTube:

This is an unboxing of the narrative-driven, solitaire wargame Skyhawk: Rolling Thunder, 1966. Designed by Steve Dixon, developed by Steven Dixon & Bob Best, with art by Knut Grunitz, and published by Legion Wargames. This is a narrative-driven wargame similar to Dixon's other designs such as Target for Today and Picket Duty. Skyhawk is a solitaire game which puts the player in the cockpit of an A-4E Skyhawk of VA-72 flying missions during the early days of Operation Rolling Thunder. Your base of operations is the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt on duty at Yankee Station. You play as a Navy pilot flying strike missions against targets in North Vietnam. Your goal will be to survive a mission or a campaign. The Skyhawk was a nimble aircraft and was capable of carrying slightly over four tons of ordnance. Depending on your target, the player has the opportunity to load out his aircraft to meet the mission requirements. The missions will not be easy. President Johnson and his civilian advisors may even change your target or ordnance loading depending upon the political situation in the USA. Facing you will be a determined North Vietnamese force. It is possible you will face small arms fire, AAA, SAM launches, and a rare encounter with a MiG. You will have help. Support Forces allow the player to attack NV defense forces before you attack your target. Their success could make your job easier. Support me directly!
