This is not intended to start another massive debate over whether the game is right or wrong in the way it handles 4E combat. I am simply curious as to what players think the end result of this combat would have been had this occurred in real life. The B-17s came from Auckland I assume and the carriers were parked one hex north of Norfolk Island. Morning Air attack on 144th Infantry Regiment, at 113,170 (Norfolk Island) Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid detected at 40 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 12 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 51 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 7 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: ??? Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: ??? Aircraft Attacking: 7 x B-17E Fortress bombing from 12000 feet Ground Attack: 8 x 500 lb GP Bomb CAP engaged: Akagi-1 with A6M2 Zero (16 airborne, 0 on standby, 0 scrambling) (16 plane(s) diverted to support CAP in hex.) 16 plane(s) intercepting now. Group patrol altitude is 14000 Raid is overhead Kaga-1 with A6M2 Zero (11 airborne, 0 on standby, 0 scrambling) (11 plane(s) diverted to support CAP in hex.) 11 plane(s) intercepting now. Group patrol altitude is 14000 Raid is overhead Hiryu-1 with A6M2 Zero (24 airborne, 0 on standby, 0 scrambling) 24 plane(s) intercepting now.
