Hornet Leader: Strike Fighter Operations

Command a squadron of F/A-18 strike fighters from carrier decks across varied combat missions. Players manage pilots, aircraft readiness, ordnance, and fuel while planning and executing strike packages against naval, air, and ground targets. The game plays solitaire, resolving missions through card-driven scenarios and tactical decision points that simulate combat, losses, and mission attrition. Resource management and pilot survival shape campaign progress and mission outcomes.
