Flat Top is a board game covering the battles of the Solomon Seas between the United States and Japan in 1942. It simulates all aspects of naval and air combat as it existed at the time. The system depicts weather, air searches, air combat, surface combat, carrier operations, submarines, air bases, supplies, and much more. The game requires intense planning and searching since movement is covert and the map is extremely large.

Includes 1,300 counters, one 44"x28" map board, four Allied/Japanese operations cards, three player aid cards, and two log sheets.
