There are even two major movies about The Battle of Midway: Midway (2019) and Midway (1976). The lore is simply history and, say what you will about the 600-some novels in the Black Library, there is nothing like the number of books, documentaries, podcasts and movies about World War Two. If you recall, I had the same problem when I talked about Bolt Action lore and Victory at Sea lore. It seems weird to even refer to this as lore. And I’m going to go in a different order this time because we really ought to get the elephant in the room out of the way first. I’ll talk more about the expansions below.)Īs with all of these reviews, I always talk about the gameplay, hobby, and lore. (There are some expansions where they introduce dive bombers, torpedo bombers and regular bombers, but not in this starter so I can’t speak to that.

This is a game in which five or six fighters on each side go up against each other in the clouds. Still, this is a dogfighting miniatures game, and the goal of the game is not to target aircraft carriers or the Island of Midway.
