As you might have guessed, a lot of the game is automated, which may make people who enjoy micromanaging their fleet left out. I would imagine that more experienced players will echo my sentiments. The advantage to the amount of automation is that it makes Carriers at War really approachable to novice players and it has none of the headaches but also none of the depth associated with War in the Pacific that game makes my brain hurt.
Carriers at War is relatively superficial: you just scout by sending planes out, choose your targets, and maneuver. As I mentioned, the game comes down to balancing your combat air patrol defenses versus your air strike offenses. Of course, the less involved mechanics results in shorter games, which makes me wish there were more scenarios to play. However, there is a solid if relatively shallow wargame here that feels unique because of its focus on carrier operations.
Carriers are normally just included as an addition rather than a focus, even though planes were a very important part of Pacific combat. The controls in Carriers at War are very straightforward once you get past the initial interface confusion, which, again, makes the game perfect for beginners.
There is a little chess match between the two sides, allocating aircraft for offensive and defensive purposes. Once you make these basic decisions, the rest of the game almost runs itself, as combat and scouting are automatic. The game would feel more complete with a campaign, either just tying the scenarios together or some sort of dynamic campaign with randomly generated maps. Still, Carriers at War is fun while it lasts: it may lack the depth of other titles, but it still provides a unique tilt that will appeal to less experienced players.

And as the British, it's fun to try to sink the Japanese fleet. Although once the Japanese see your ships all the Japanese planes will attack them.
And a quick question; is there a way to subdue enemy land bases? I find it annoying that the people on land bases can repeatedly bomb you and you can't do anything to stop them.
