Carrier Operations:

Overview:
This modification is used in conjunction with the Wings of Glory (WOG) WWII game system and simulates the ability to take off and land on a 1/200 scale Aircraft Carrier (model or printed top down image). To get the full experience, it is recommended that you print and construct the landing gear stands/boxes for the aircraft you will be using with this mod.

The objectives of this mod are:

1. Offer a carrier deck takeoff roll adjusted for 1/200 scale. The takeoff roll in this mod is longer than the takeoff roll in the standard WOG rules.
2. Offer the ability to use the carrier’s catapult system. Some aircraft are not able to take off within the short length of the carrier’s flight deck. This mod offers guidelines on the use of that system.
3. Offer the ability to use the carrier’s hanger deck elevators. Carrier deck elevators facilitate the exchanging of aircraft between the flight deck above and the hanger deck below. Once the elevator is lowered and the aircraft miniature is taxied off onto the hanger deck, the miniature may be removed from the game area and is understood to be safely tucked below.
4. Offer consequences when an aircraft misses the arresting cable or lands with combat damage to their landing gear. Aircraft may crash, slide off the deck, hit other aircraft, or simply land, shut off the engine, and report for chow.
5. Offer a maneuver card sequence to simulate the carrier landing approach. In this mod, when finalizing an aircraft carrier landing attempt, an aircraft plays a sequence of 5 consecutive stall cards. This sequence of stall cards is a figurative glide slope used to descend through the last level of altitude. Cards played in this sequence would equal 1 level of lost altitude, regardless of the aircraft’s climb rate..
6. Offer Airborne Power Up and Carrier Deck Missed Landing Takeoff Roll. These maneuvers may be used when a carrier landing is missed and it becomes necessary to set up a second landing attempt.
7. Offer instructions on how to incorporate and use the printable Carrier Operations Cards with this Carrier Operations Mod. These cards add a visual of what may be happening each turn you interact with the carrier and its crew. 1 Carrier Card is played for each turn a maneuver card would be played.
8. Offer a printable top down 1/200 carrier surface, deck equipment counters, munitions counters, and landing gear boxes (for the F4F). These cutouts should be printed (using color ink set to best) on heavy stock printer paper, cut out and (with the landing gear boxes) constructed with trace amounts of wood glue.
