Combat Theatre setup for July 8-14: PTO 1945

[Mister Fork]

June 1945 - islands around Japan

It's early summer 1945. The US is pushing hard against the IJN/IJA out of the islands around Japan. As her carriers conduct maneuvers around these islands, bands of Japanese aircraft desperately conduct Kamikaze attacks against the fleets. The ground battle is also long and hard, with both sides suffering many casualties. It will be a long war.

Would be cool to get a handful of guys in there to act as kamikazes, dropping a bomb just before they hit, and see if the CV cap can prevent it.

They did that in this setup, maybe a year ago (...er...maybe more?).  If the kamikazes all fly together, they overwhelm the CAP.

It was fun for about five minutes.
