Maya TF AND the Yura TF were both present as security for the amphibious group. The amphib group taking the brunt was a bad die roll

Perhaps. But Chickenboy-san been burned by this before. There was an instance in the Marianas campaign when he set his 5x Allied CVE TF to forrow a BB/DD SCTF by a hex through the Guam area before retiring. Guess what-ah happen? [:D]
