Chuck Norris can pick oranges from an apple tree and make the best lemonade in the world. Every morning when you wake up, swallow a live toad. Nothing worse can happen to you for the rest of the day. They say money can't buy happiness. I would like the opportunity to find out. Why be serious?

15 hours to go.

28 carriers, 28 cruisers and 114 destroyers up for grabs in the biggest ship sinking event.  Unlimited rearms and short distance to target areas.

Biggest target rich environment possible.

Had to call an audible during the event.  First time for an event like this and we discovered torpedoes were being difficult with CV fleets too widely dispersed and results were way too low.  30 minutes into the event, I decided to release bombloads for the Ju-88s and unlimited lives with opening A24.  A bomb and bail action became the new tactic.

168 ships were a massive undertaking.  It became a 2 hour event with formations.

Going forward in April, I will place all 28 CV fleets in same sector. 14,4 which is just east of A24 right off the runway.  This will enable the torpedo runs be more effective.  We will use the TBM for that one.

That should get the event where the original premise was.
