TAKE YOUR BATTLESTATION, HENRY WALKER!
Battlestations: Midway represents a radical advance in naval
war gaming. Now YOU can control and direct every aspect
of naval warfare, with genre-defining control systems
and strategic interactive maps.
From your early days captaining a wooden-hulled torpedo
boat, your challenge is to advance through the ranks
of the United States Navy to command the largest
battleships and aircraft carriers of World War II.
Ultimately, you will direct entire battle groups of
ships and subs, as well as squadrons of aircraft,
to strike against the jewels in the crown of the
Japanese Navy.
This may sound like a tall order, but with
training at the Naval Academy, you’ll grow
in skill and experience. With resolve, focus
and determination — plus a little bit of luck
— perhaps you can you triumph against
a deadly opponent, an enemy equipped
with weaponry and units that equal
those of the Allied forces.
The Pacific is at battlestations. Are you
equal to the challenge?
•Enter the Naval Academy and be schooled in the noble art
of seamanship.
•Grow in stature as a naval commander, and try your hand
at a range of Challenge missions.
•Throw yourself into the fray in Multiplayer mode, competing
with opponents locally via Local Area Network or remotely
over the Internet via the GameSpy Matchup service.
•Check out the comprehensive Battlestations: Midway website
