Midway Solitaire is a wargame of the Campaign in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) in April-June 1942. This period saw the Japanese take the offensive in two major campaigns which resulted in the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, both of which were decided by aircraft carrier actions. In the game, the player takes command of United States Navy and Allied (USN) forces. The game system takes command of Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) forces. You, as the USN commander, must defeat multiple IJN naval offensives while your foe has superior numbers. What is at stake is the entire course of the war in the Pacific Theater.
This game was originally published in World at War Magazine #54 and was selected in a previous Deluxe Edition reprint survey. The map and counters were updated and more variant counters along with variant rules were added. One mounted map board, one plus partial counter sheets (260 x 9/16” counters), full color player aid cards, and a 32-page full color rules booklet.

The Players' Aid 
Hi. The original game was short of / did not appear to include, any Japanese Torpedo Aircraft ( “Kates” ). Perchance they were amalgamated with the Japanese Dive Bombers ( “Vals” ) for reasons best known to the games designer/s, although there were counters for both the US Torpedo Bombers and the US Dive Bombers ( as you might reasonably expect ). Does the new Delux version have any
( separate ) Japanese Torpedo Aircraft ( “Kates” ) ?

OK – Any reason or logic given in Designer’s Notes ( if any ), re this seemingly major error ?
Thanks.
