Over deze content

Coral Sea 1942 covers the May 1942 Japanese invasion attempt of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and the air and naval campaigns around it. The Japanese forces must capture Port Moresby and establish bases in the Solomon islands, but their offensive could be well stopped by the Allies naval and air forces. The American and Australian have to prevent the Japanese from achieving their objectives, without losing too much of their meagre resources.

Coral Sea 1942 lasts 18 turns, each representing on average half a day, between the 4th May 1942 and the 22nd May, 1942. It opposes the Allies and the Japanese in the southwest Pacific.
The Japanese have powerful naval and air force, but they have few troops to use for the capture of Port Moresby.
The Allies are on the defensive, with few troops and an untried land-based air force. Their asset is their carriers task force which could make a difference.
