Terrible Swift Swordfish (2012)

An LPS bonus mini-game, Terrible Swift Swordfish is a solitaire simulation of the Royal Navy's bold and devastating attack on the ships of the Regia Marina in the port of Taranto during the night of November 11-12, 1940. In two waves, the player send his Swordfish carrier-based biplanes laden with either torpedos or bombs to attack Italian ships or bomb port facilities respectively. Damage inflicted is determined by chit-pull (or dice rolling in the case of flak). As additional Swordfish enter the map on their pre-designated bombing runs, Italian flak and anti-torpedo defenses grow more coordinated and deadly. The player attempts to maximize his Victory Points by sinking ships and bombing facilities, all while trying to avoid the loss of his Swordfish Biplanes.
