Description

Historians and gamers will find the game pace, play method, and varied outcomes to be fascinating. Parents, teachers, and students will recognize the great advantage of learning while playing.

In this game, you make duplicate copies of the battleship target illustrations and the numbered "Special Factors" cards. Then follow the simple attack procedures against each battleship. Damage scores will vary depending where bomb hits occur plus a random number variation. Hence, player can expect a different outcome each time they play the game. The game can be plyed solo to in small groups.

This game is part of a larger Pearl Harbor Re-enactment Guide. This part of the game based upon the high level bomber attack on Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor. Forty-eight high Level bombers, in ten arrow formations, carrying and dropped the secret "Dragon Tooth" 800kg armor piercing bomb against the inboard battleship on Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor. Fouled by smoke and sun glare, they managed to make a dismal six hits on American battleships. Although, only six big bombs hit American battleships, one No.80 bomb struck and penetrated the USS Arizona's forward powder magazine causing a violent explosion. The game can be adapted easily for solo or team play. Can you do better?
