Final Score.
Grueling Battle. Ship Hardness wreaked havoc on the typical approach to sinking ships. The battle raged on the waters of the Pacific, ships went head to head throwing massive amounts of ordinance at each other. The air to air battle was originally believed to be significantly in the favor of the US forces.
End Result?
IJN sank 7 of the US Ships while the US devastated the IJN Fleet by sending 13 ships to the bottom.
US took the Fleet to Fleet portion scoring 195 points against the IJNs 105.
The air war, however, took a different turn. The IJN rallied in the air and removed 80 US Planes from the air while the US downed 38 of the IJN Forces.
The IJN took the Air to Air engagement scoring 203 points against the US 97 points.
The IJN Eaked Out a slight overall victory with 308 points against the US 292 points.
Impressive, radically different strategies, radically different outcomes, and a very very close race.
Thank you all for attending, it was a pleasure to put on and a pleasure to watch unfold.
