RE: Castles in the Sand - Spidery(J) vs MrKane(A) no Mr... - 
and again no aircraft are airborne. Watching the replay, I hoped that the results would be better since a lot more aircraft reached the combat but the Oscars die in droves and the lightnings can only be damaged. Maybe Nicks would do better? I'll set their patrol altitudes even lower. 
. However, bombing is inaccurate and only 1 hit is scored
. 
, react one hex towards the Allies. The afternoon attacks are escorted and both penetrate CAP without much difficultly. My bombers do not show the skill of yesterday and only manage to put one bomb onto the Yorktown, the dive bombers foolishly targeting a DD. The Allies have better luck and the CVE Hosho is sunk outright along with DD Yomogi. The other two CVE have to be scuttled along with all their aircraft. 
). 
. I need those Type 2 upgrades!
