wow.....

thank god at the last minute i decided to move my TF's one hex short of Wake, instead of keeping them in the Wake hex itself, as i don't believe i would have had the neccessary surface forces to take on the japanese surface fleet

if tom wants, i'll resend the turn, with the TF's sent to their original (Wake) destinations just to see if the japanese could've fought there way to the carriers. Of course whatever the outcome, i won't count towards our game...but should be fun to watch

quote:

That would still be a lot of fun to watch. How many DDs in the bunch?

quote:

The problem was that even though it was set to do not react, the TF based around the Soryu reacted and broke formation.
