Ya raptor that would work nicely!
 

   We'll have to add in a few key AFs and ports. But that should be fine. If you are interested in doing this, PM me, and we can start getting a few guys togther to work on the rules.

I have a book that will provide all the info we need to set it up. Ship availabity dates,  plane ranges everything.  I think once we get it so we have a design of game turns, we should try a carrier battle first to see how it plays out. Then if it plays well we can do a campaign.

Yeah, I'm in too, even if I'll just embarass myself rather quickly.  I'll send a PM.

Ever consider playing Avalon Hill's Flat Top using the VASSAL engine?http://www.vassalengine.org/community/index.php?option=com_vassal_modules&task=display&module_id=81

Or possibly using Aide De Camp or Cyberboard or VASSAL to play any of the existing Pacific Boardgames out there?  Or even if you do create your own game maybe one of these pieces of software will greatly help you in running your game.  Just throwing a few ideas out to help with what I think may be a daunting task.

That looks cool Bug. Maybe a little more involved than I want to get at first but I'll definately keep it in mind thanks!

  I think for the time being we have enough guys to start with thanks all!
