FiringSquad: How does the game's strategy elements enter into Battlestations: Midway?

Klaude Thomas: Strategy elements such as the command map, unit orders, formation control, and repair crews are knit into the action gameplay. On the smaller maps you can safely ignore them and take direct control of the fight - an all-action type of game - but on larger maps where you are coordinating the action of multiple ships, subs, and aircrafts, you will find yourself swiftly making strategic adjustments and then jumping into personal control at the point of contact. For example, you might set up multiple bomber squadrons to overload a single target, then jump in and personally fly the key attack through the AA defense fire, or you might be in a destroyer that takes a hit to the fuel tank - setting her on fire - so you'll swiftly switch to your repair crew to douse the flames.
