Battle of Coral Sea - An Empires of History Game

The battle of the Coral Sea was the first time in sea battles that the carrier had played a big part against other ships. This was also the first time in history that a navel battle happened between planes and ships, no ships Vs ships happened in the Battle for the Coral Sea.

Historically the battle was a draw, both sides sunk or damaged a ship(s) and both the Japanese and United States claimed victory. In fact it was a victory for the United States: they had damaged two carriers and sunk one light carrier. This is important in that those two carriers were no able to take part in the Midway battle just a mouth away.

You can now take on the Japanese or American forces in this two player territorial strategy board game. An Empires of History, Compact Game series game.
