The entire world is the stage on which these two titans fight to make the world safe for their own ideologies and ways of life.

Battles with individual ships can be fought, but the game easily and quickly simulates combat with fleets of 3-10 ships. These are fleets of Capital Ships. This is NOT a game about fighter combat in space. Most ships in the game are large and you must balance your ships' power output between shields, weapons, sensors and maneuverability - you are not just doing an Immelman. Each faction has unique abilities and each ship has unique features. Proper strategy involves assessing the different abilities of your ships and the enemy's.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an Accessible game. The complexity of managing fleets of capital ships has been baked into the game system, leaving the player free to make interesting decisions. It is also a Fast Paced game.

The game is fought on a Map - distances moved, firing arcs, shield arcs are distinct and easily resolved. The game uses Very Large, Laminated Counters. All of a ship's systems are displayed directly on the counter and lamination allows you to mark damage and other ship info with a dry erase marker. All of the important information is at your fingertips, at-a-glance, on the map.

The player must organize, equip, and train a squadron of B-25 medium “Mitchell” bombers to attack a distant and rather dangerous target.

Every choice has implications for how the next card will be played. There is no hand management: the focus is on the map and on planning for the foreseeable—and the unforeseeable.

EotS is a strategic level look at the entire War in the Pacific from the attack on Pearl Harbor until the surrender of Japan. EotS is the first card driven game (CDG) to move the system closer to a classic hexagon wargame, while retaining all of the tension and uncertainty people have come to expect from a CDG. Players are cast in the role of MacArthur, Yamamoto, Nimitz, and Mountbatten as you direct your forces across the breadth of the globe from India to Hawaii and from Alaska to Australia. This is represented on a single map based on a 1942 equal area projection of the entire theater of conflict.\u003cbr\u003eAs in other games using the CDG system, players try to maximize the impact of their cards even as they hide their intentions and traps from their opponent. The player is faced with a wide set of clear strategic choices. The focus of EotS is on directing major offensive axes of advance. The Japanese early in the game are challenged to achieve their historical expansion as Allied forces battle the clock to react with their in-place forces trying to achieve maximum damage to the hard-to-replace Japanese veteran units.\u003cbr\u003eCombat in EotS is based on successfully bringing superior combined land, air, and sea forces to bear in a two-tiered combat system. The first tier is the resolution of air-naval combat, the second tier covers ground combat. The culmination of both tiers results in one side prevailing in battle.\u003cbr\u003eThe key variable in determining strategic victory is the level of U.S. political will. The Japanese win the game by forcing the U.S. into a negotiated peace, which was not achieved historically. The Japanese achieve this by knocking countries like India, China, and Australia out of the war, while inflicting massive casualties on the United States. The delivery of the A-bomb on its historical schedule is not a guarantee, often necessitating Operation Olympic and the invasion of Japan. It is often in its darkest hour that the Japanese find victory in EotS.\u003cbr\u003eEotS scenarios were designed with the busy enthusiast, grognard, and competitive tournament player in mind. EotS was designed to be played n yearly scenarios (1942, 1943, and 1944) of three turns each that play in under two hours. If you are a fan of CDG's, EotS takes the genre into a familiar, but new direction. If you are a fan of classic hexagon wargames, this game has all of the features that brought you to this hobby in the first place, but with a new level of excitement and replayability. The game is comprehensive, but easy to learn.\u003cu\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/u\u003e 1-2\u003cu\u003eSuggested Ages:\u003c\/u\u003e 12 and up\u003cu\u003eLanguage(s):\u003c\/u\u003e English\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/11825\/empire-sun\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to BGG.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/BGG_logo.jpg\" style=\"width: 60px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/11825\/empire-sun\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to Youtube.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/Youtube.png\" style=\"width: 105px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057881903453,"sku":"GMT0501-15","price":66.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"ardennes-44","title":"Ardennes ’44","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecember 16, 1944\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter a period of fog, rain, and snow blankets the area, three German armies unleash 26 divisions against thinly held American lines in the Ardennes forest of Belgium and Luxembourg.
