Battle off Samar 25 October 1944


The GM FM2 "Wildcat"  played an important role in the 25 October 1944 Battle off Samar, in which a force of the slow CVEs and their escorts out-fought a vastly superior Japanese surface fleet.

In history, the Japanese force consisted mainly of battleships and cruisers.
We are adding IJN carriers to enable the fun matchup between the FM2 and the A6M5 Zero

Terrain: avasea

IJN-Knights
A6M5
D3A1
B5N

USN-Bishops
FM2
SBD
TBM

Objective: destroy the enemy fleet and aircraft.
American 1000 and 2000 lb bombs are disabled to better match the Japanese ordinance. TBM rockets will also be disabled.

Thanks Shifty, it's simple but the matchup between the FM2 and Zeke is a lot of fun.
