Pearl Harbor Day--Lest We Forget.
January 10/11 1943
It appears the Japanese are planning to invade Rennell Island. The KB is just off Auki. Rennell Island is right-sized.
That, by the way, is my criticism of the ground combat engine. Battle results are totally at variance with the results of any other serious wargame and the actual combat statistics. There is no payoff for right-sizing a force for defence or attack.
Allied air losses: 14, mostly in Burma; Japanese: 10.
Interesting combat outcome given the density of defending AA (9-90mm AA, 12-75mm AA, 24-37mm AA, 57-40mm AA, and miscellaneous smaller calibers). Is AA nerfed?
