The closest thing so far that has happened to me, as Aillied player , that comes close to the first battle of GC is the following, which was only posted on the "Aussie Rematch" AAR thread.
The battle was not at ironbottom sound but at Vanua Lava.
The confusion that my naval forces experianced must go close to what happened in the real battle at GC. ;)

2 Cls, a big CA (pensacola) and 8 dds appeared on the enemy sunk list, while there is another bunch of badly damaged ships in a thunderstorm 5 hexes (guessing) from Luganville. I lost 2 small CAs, a cl, and 4 DDs (most of which had to be scuttled after the following air raid caught them). Thunderstorms and the bad weather in this game and all.

Ground combat at Wewak
Japanese Shock attack
Attacking force 516 troops, 0 guns, 26 vehicles
Defending force 110 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles
Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 0)
Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0
Next turn there will be more tankettes to squash this insane invasion. Happy that last turn the S-46 copped 2 out of 16 depth charges (go APDs!).

Sunk ship list has been decidedly in my favour so far. Bombing wise Raver's raids at PM the last few turns ahve cost him half a dozen planes, and a whole bunch of damaged ships (more AA on the way let me tell you!) but he has also caught a couple of zeroes on the ground, and shut PM down for about a week.
