Howdy, Randy.

The harbor ships don't show up in the log because of the type of objects they are.  So, I have to check it visually to see that the requisite number of ships are down at the end of the battle.

Thanks for your thoughts and for playing.  :aok

Brooke,
  On behalf of The 47 Ronin, I thank you for your time and efforts in setting this up
and running it.
  Though our particular group of 8xB5Ns and 2xA6M2 escorts got savagely mauled,
we got a lot of action, some cheap headrushes and had a lot of fun with it.
It was a great introduction to "themed" events in Aces High for some of my newer
pilots.
  As well, my thanks to all the AH pilots who showed up for this one. Turnout was a LOT
higher than I'd anticipated.

Best regards, Odd

We were mauled as well.

I think the dar hurt the axis side.  I proposed next year the axis get a 15-20 minute head start with dar off to simulate the surprise attack aspect of Dec 7th.

Hi Randy,
  This is a GREAT idea, and I'm all for it.
I see last night's op as a "playtest" of sorts and it showed that some tinkering
is in order to "fine tune" it.
  Maybe Brooke can play with it some and we can run it again in a few months?  :aok

Best regards, Odd
