In the Pacific War that began in 1941, aircraft carriers and their aircraft became the main players in naval battles. However, during the night when aircraft could not fly and in bad weather, cruisers ans destroyers fought fiercely with their guns and torpedoes.
The Solomon Naval Night Battle game recreates the surface battles between the Japanese and Allied navies in WW2. There are 16 scenarios, which recreate battles such as the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Central Solomons, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
The system is a fusion of a precise tactical level and a fleet command system, and the hit judgment is carried out for each shell and torpedo. The power of the guns and the thickness of the armor are also made into rules, but on the other hand, the playability is high, and most scenarios can be completed in less than an hour.
