Corsair Leader

Corsair Leader places you in command of a US Navy or US Marine Squadron in the hostile skies of WWII in the pacific.

As the squadron commander of a US Navy or Marine Corps squadron, you have information about Targets that need to be attacked, and the positions of potential enemy air defenses. It is up to you to choose your pilots, arm your aircraft, and destroy your target! As your pilots fly the missions, they will suffer from Stress, which will have an impact on their Skills. Do you rest a Pilot, or do you send him out on yet another mission? It is up to you to use your Pilots, balance their Skills and Stress, and get the job done. Lead your pilots to victory and win the war in the Pacific!

Corsair Leader is based on the Hornet Leader game, but with some significant changes. Corsair Leader adds several new features to the Air Leader series.

• Detailed Dogfighting rules! - You'll select a Maneuver, adjust Position, and do your best to shoot down enemy aircraft! The AI uses the same rules for Maneuvering on your Aircraft!
• Enemy Bandit Pilot Skill Levels - Each Enemy Bandit is rated for its Pilot Skill Level from Newbie to Ace. The higher their Skill Level, the higher their ratings. When you shoot down enemy Veterans and Aces, you remove those counters from the Campaign!
• Gung Ho - WWII was all about teamwork and getting the job done. Each of your Pilot's has a Gung Ho skill that you can use to perform heroic actions!
• Naval Sites - We've added an entire set of Naval Site counters for Naval Targets! This gives Naval Targets a completely different feel from land targets!
