What is there, is quite fun, and challenging.  I played the Eastern Solomons Scenario twice, and got spanked both times.  I need to stay away from the Jap carriers....

How user friendly is the scenario editor? I should get the game soon, as a WITP addicted I could play CAW while waiting for my WITP turn :D

Is it still the case that, upon launching a strike or a search, a TF is anchored to the launch hex until those a/c are recovered? I hope they revised that....

As I recall, TFs continue on their course while strikes are out, but I will check on this.

Regarding the editor, it's there, but I'm not much of a scenario editor or modder (unless you like typos), I really have not played with it.

like WITP. You may be able to stretch a scenario out a bit using the editor and
creating the mission yourself but it will never do a full war campaign...

Just to make things straight... this "Carriers at War" has nothing to do with 2By3/Matrix project "Uncommon Valor/Carrier Force" that will have carrier ops in 15 minute intervals... right?

Correct. Seems to be a rewrite of the old CAW game.
