I have completed a new Battle scenario - Dec 16 1941 - Dec 27 1941, The US Navy's Attempted Relief of Wake Island.
This scenario has never been done before, and has been thoroughly tested for 1.v.1 or AI.v.AI (or player vs AI of course).

The forces have been accurately researched, as has been the time table of events and Task Force sailings and routes/patrol areas. Testing has proven either side can win.

As a Battle Scenario, this fits in well with the Coral Sea Battle Scenario. If you care to give it a try, it can be downloaded Here (just follow all download instructions on the page).

Have fun,
B

Status: offline 		Hello BigB Thanks for the scenario! Unfortunately the Japan AI did nothing but sacrifice Nells over Wake, which did not see a single ship or soldier the entire duration. lol Anyway, should there not be a Japanese force already on the island laying siege at the start seeing as te relief forces are enroute? Guessing something is not kosher with my download. Cheers!

Ron

Only if one needs to give the Japanese an unhistorical advantage for a game that ends on Dec 27 1941. The IJN force that attempted to land on 11 December 1941 got their head handed to them with the loss of 2 destroyers sunk and assorted ships damaged by the shore batteries and F4Fs with 100 bombs.

This game appears to be about the battle that never happened between the available USN CVs and the reinforced invasion force with its supporting force of KB CVs (Hiryu and Soryu). Perhaps you didn't give it enough time to get those guys on the line?

I would download again.

There are no Japanese troops on Wake at start, historically the second landing attempt is on Dec 22nd.
Just to show how diverse game results are, I have rarely seen Nells bomb Wake before the 22nd - mainly due to weather. :)
I do know that the CV,s invasion Task force, and support elements all show up on que and on schedule.

The game starts Dec 16th - the day the Saratoga group sails from PH. The main Japanese forces won't appear for several days. so perhaps you are not giving it enough time to develop?

Either way - you should have action at Wake by the 22nd - or something is wrong with your download.
