Clash at Midway The Battle of Midway, fought near the Central Pacific island of Midway, is considered the decisive battle of the war in the Pacific. Before this battle the Japanese were on the offensive, capturing territory throughout Asia and the Pacific. By their attack, the Japanese had planned to capture Midway to use as an advance base, as well as to entrap and destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Because of communication intelligence successes, the U.S. Pacific Fleet surprised the Japanese forces, sinking the four Japanese carriers that had attacked Pearl Harbor only six months before, while only losing one of our own carriers. After Midway, the Americans and their Allies took the offensive in the Pacific.
Goals: We will be recreating to the best of our ability the Battle of Midway. What we are aiming for is the sense of
“Will we find them before they find us” in both the CO’s and Command Staffs AND the Pilots.
Which sides Scouts will be the Hero’s and spot the enemy fleets first !
Will the Torpedo Bombers get through or suffer the same fate as Torpedo Eight Squadron.
Both sides have to take into account that they can not directly SEE their enemy. Both CO’s will have to make major decisions on the fly that could easily win the day for them or lose the Scenario for them.

Depending on the how many pilots the ARENA can hold and how many register will determine how many frames each person in any group will fly.
