Intense action awaits as the Japanese attempt to sieze Port Morsby with an invasion force covered by two of the carriers which 6 months earlier had savaged Pearl Harbor.
The Americans, forwarned by intelligence intercepts have stationed two of carriers and a precious few other warships in an attempt to stop the invasion and protect Austraia.

awesome....

personally i loved the side-switch last time. it was my first ever scenario as well.

one question though, last time the B-25 and the Ki-67 were to be used as scout planes ONLY, with something like 3 scouts per side. with the addition of the G4M, will there be a squadron of B-25s for bombing as well?

looking forward to it!

At least it is side switch. If it weren't, I am afraid there would be very little enthusiasm. Either way, I will be there.

If we do the 8th Pursuit Group thing again, I volunteer for the A6M/P39 duty.

Are we expecting any editing of the Coral Sea Terrain before the event?

Glad to see this event will be at primetime. Should be better numbers, probably not great but better.
