Overview
Fast Carriers is SPI's simulation of WWII carrier warfare and its impact on combat tactics in the pacific. Simple sea/island maps with large hexes are used to position task forces and flight sorties. A place mat for each active carrier is used to track carrier operations. All individual combat planes and ships are represented with search planes abstracted. Tactical air to ship combat is played out on a tactical hex-based all-sea map with individual plane altitude, angle of attack, and multiple waves of aircraft represented.
