WANT to LEARN how to COMMAND a US CARRIER?

Description provided by Aaron Plays on YouTube:

LEARNING TO PLAY SIXTH FLEET - EPISODE 4 - AIRCRAFT CARRIER OPERATIONS Learning how to play Sixth Fleet from Victory Games (1985). Using opposed playthrough via Vassal PBEM. Going to be going through the Introductory scenarios in the rule book. Scenario 4 is a focus on Aircraft and the power of a US Aircraft Carrier . This is the complete scenario. A few errors occur during the playthrough as I was still learning this game myself. Errors are explained. Whilst making this video, I was screen sharing the wrong screen... I know what a donut 🙄 I decided to use the sound file and click along through vassal to show the game, rather than rerecord the whole darn thing again. This means that in places I click forward before the map has updated and makes a few areas a little disjointed. Overall though the explanations, action and visuals are intact. NATO - Yours Truely SOVIETS - Harri Hopefully you still ENJOY the video! Sixth Fleet is a simulation game of near-future combat for control of the Mediterranean Basin. As commander of the U.S. or Soviet fleet and respective allies, you must form your ships into Task Forces and attempt to cripple the enemy’s capital ships and submarines. Your limited air assets must be carefully assigned to defensive and offensive missions. Commando, parachute and amphibious assault units stand at the ready to capture vital objectives. Most important, you must protect your supply and replenishment ships, or your fleet will be unable to maintain combat momentum. Sixth Fleet is a comprehensive simulation of the myriad elements involved in future naval confrontation. Each 8 hour game turn is broken into 3 distinct phases (sub, surface, and air) and each player takes turns choosing which phase they wish to conduct. Ex. if the US player chooses "Air", they conduct all bombing, shipping strikes, anti-sub, and interception actions for all their aircraft. Players also use their units to attempt to "detect" enemy forces so that an attack can be made. Ships and aircraft are always detected once a unit moves close enough to them, but players have to roll to try to detect subs. Optional rules include nuclear weapons and logistics. About 14 scenarios are included which range from about 60 minutes (for Introductory Scenarios) to 3 to 6 hours (for Intermediate Scenarios) to 20 or more hours (for the Advanced Scenarios). Wargames old and new. Throw in some board games, card games and the occasional roleplaying game. I play most games solo though some are opposed Playthroughs. The games are also explained, discussed and reviewed. #Wargames #Board Games #Play Throughs #Reviews #Wargame Musings
