Got the turn finished yesterday, hectic weekend with two dinners at our house and then the wife's cat went missing...oh, my. Drop everything and look for it for hours and hours![8|]
Fact: Cats don't come when you call them. They come when they are hungry. Cat finally showed up at 1 am.
Lexington and Enterprise are making a full speed run due east and then cutting south to end up one hex behind Wake ready to turn into the wind. Two AEs are at Wake and an AD.
Two destroyers are going to steam west into the hoard of IJN ships chasing us, and will attempt to buy time for the Carriers and Cruisers to escape.
One squadron of fighters flown off to land at Wake and provide some local CAP in case things go sideways. Another freshly rearmed squadron of destroyers is leaving Wake and setting up a patrol perimeter where we expect to see the IJN main effort NW of Wake.
It could be a nasty turn![X(]
Two squadrons of PBYs at Wake, I set one to naval attack down low, two squadrons of TBs are set to attack high (with torpedoes -- been saving them) and the DB are set to attack at 15K. Almost all fighters are set to escort, as I have pretty much pulled the teeth from the following carriers (about 50 fighters).
