I have noticed that air strikes seem to attack ships from different task forces in the same hex. At least my Wake landing and screening forces, two seperate task forces, were attacked by a single air strike from a US CV. If this is the case, what a major break through. Has anyone else noticed this?

I can confirm this, I had two separate task forces in Bataan and ships from both were sunk by one attack. I don't know if a single strike split to attack both fleets, or if multiple strikes combined and were resolved as one event though. Either way I like thie change a lot.

I had the same thing in my Guadalcanal scenario. 64 SBD's attacked. 42 attacked the carriers, then the scattered remnants (i think being distrupted by my fighters) attacked the transports.

Very good change.
