in their F4U Corsairs. Japanese A6m5s scramble to intercept and destroy the incoming bombers and

Designer Notes
We don't have a New Britain terrain so we have to use the Slot.
Rabaul is actually about 200 miles NW of A20.
 
CM Notes
Suggest start time of 0530 and have the time X2. Make sure American buff pilots use formations of 3.

Jump all Task Groups out of the area. Numbers will favor the IJN, but the buff formations will be tough on the light Zero's. Co alt merge should help keep things even.

hornet,

We mentioned this last time this snapshot came up, I believe the setup should be updated for F4U-1As on the Allied side.
