Aegis: Guardian of the Fleet: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima's Secrets of the Games)

This is the official strategy guide for Aegis: Guardian of the Fleet. You've already got the best ship in the world, but do you have what it takes to create a victory at sea? As captain of the world's finest warship, an Aegis Class Cruiser, you must be completely prepared to encounter enemy threats on every watch. After facing wave after wave of deadly, cruise-missile-equipped aircraft, marauding surface raiders, and unseen enemies beneath the waves, it becomes clear that Aegis: Guardian of the Fleet - The Official Strategy Guide is the combat guide no competent commander would want to be without. Let author Ed Dille, who was a member of the commissioning crew of the Aegis Cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG-53), instruct you how to control the battle of the airwaves and find the enemy first; push your ship to its limits and come out of battle unscathed; and avoid the career-ending mistakes that can place you in front of a court martial or, even worse, a congressional board of inquiry. Every one of the over 100 real-world missions ranging from the Falklands War to Desert Storm - and two hypothetical campaigns against a resurgent Soviet Fleet - are fully covered. Aegis: Guardian of the Fleet - The Official Strategy Guide is the only source that can make you a proven predator of the high seas. Ed Dille was commissioned at the U.S. Naval Academy and is a fleet-qualified surface warrior and tactical action offer. During his 15 years as an officer, Mr. Dille served aboard the USS Knox (FF-1052) and was a member of the original commissioning crew of the second vertical launch-capable Aegis Cruiser, the USS Mobile Bay (CG-3). He is now the Simulation Editor of electronic Games magazine.
