[edit] Island Capture - Small

Midway has an emphasis on troop transports and landings, and as such submarines play a role in eliminating these before they can deploy Daihatsus or Higgins Boats. The two carriers remain ever-vulnerable to submarine attacks, so it can pay to upgrade to an anti-submarine warfare unit like the ASW Fletcher.

[edit] Island Capture - Medium

Medium sized Midway uses the rarely-used De Ruyter-class light cruiser for the Allies. There are no LSTs in this map, so players will want to to rely on patrol boats to reach the supply bases behind their starting positions and try to secure an early lead.

[edit] Island Capture - Large

Large Midway is a lot like Jaws Medium - a key island lies in the corner of the map, and both sides must race to get it. Unlike Jaws, however, the player with control of this island does not gain units that will cause the whole playing field to tilt; rather, it is a position that simply offers another spawn. This leaves the other two bases open to a counterattack. With so many units focusing on the northeastern island, expect a few submarines or bombers to sneak in and strike from the southeast.
