What is Postcard Solomons CVs
A relatively fast and simple air, sea, and land battle game focusing on the 2 decisive aircraft carrier battles just east of Guadalcanal: Eastern Solomons (24-25Aug42) and Santa Cruz (Islands, 25-27Oct42).
For the Eastern Solomons scenario, 1,2, or all 3 U.S. carriers may instead be absent due to Admiral Fletcher's concern about refueling. And Japanese have a possible night surface battle advantage - lost thanks to radar by the time of Santa Cruz.
"Campaign game" possibility with Eastern Solomons carrier losses subtracted. Japanese submarines have a free (if low-chance) Torpedo Junction shot at each U.S. carrier in the interim.
U.S. "Magic" code-breaking can give a game-turn sequence advantage ... or not, if the Imperial Japanese Navy code cannot be broken in time for the battle.
