About the game
Several times a year, when we feel like it, the Golden Journal brings Gold Club members some fun extras for their Avalanche Press games. Our new-model Golden Journal features a “real” booklet, just like a small magazine, and a small set of die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces. In 1939, the French Navy operated the world’s fourth-largest aircraft carrier fleet, with one ship. But throughout the 1930’s, plans called for more flattops. The Constructors’ Department of the Marine Nationale provided new designs, but none were authorized until a pair of modern carriers were finally ordered in 1937. Only one had been laid down, but not completed, when France fell to the Germans in 1940. Golden Journal No. 50: French Carriers provides you with 30 new Second World War at Sea pieces for the lone French carrier, three proposed carrier designs that never would never be laid down, and the one design that did reach the slipway. Plus the airplanes that would have flown off of them. You also get six new scenarios so you can play with them in Second World War at Sea: Bismarck. —description from the publisher
