I think I will give this a try today.
----------------------------
Interesting. Unless I did something wrong I had to drop the Warspite so I could dock and load troops. Added her back after everything was loaded and she did a great job leading the TF.
A large US bombardment (consisting of all the CL's at PH) group ran into the Japanese CV's just SE of Wake and a running battle broke out that actually closed to 8000 yards. The Hiryu took 11 hits and forced the Japanese CV's to retire. Unfortunately when I sent the US CV's in to finish them off the Japanese got off a max range attack and damaged the Lex who sunk on the way home.
The Marines were able to take Wake back and that was that. Nice short scenario, thank you.

Had some time so tried this again. This time the Japanese CV's got the drop on me and sank the Lex at the cost of the Hiryu being slightly damaged. As the Japanese withdrew they once again were caught in a running surface battle with the Hiryu taking several more hits causing the TF to withdraw.
The Marines hit the beach at took Wake back with some difficulty due to a few transport losses. Alas the loss of the Lex caused the Allies to lose on points.

desicat -
After playing a campaign scenario or one of the larger non campaign scenarios, "Return to Wake" is a lot of fun, because it moves so quickly. I used this scenario (as the Japanese) to experiment with AR / AD and many other auxiliary types - just to sandbox and see who does what and how it all works.
Hope that you enjoy Return to Midway as much as I have.

I assume this became "Scen 18 Return to Wake" available in the thread "Patch 07 unofficial data scen updates";
