After some warmup we decided to run our very first long campaign.

Settings

- Historical first turn
- Variable setup
- 7 Dec Surprise- On
- Replacements- Variable +/- 15 days
- Everything is switched on (PDU, sub doctrines, allied dc, et al.)

House rules

- Dedicated ASW TFs limited to 4 ships.till 4/43
- Night bombing limited to one bombing unit per target until B-29s become available.
- Japanese carriers can not operate within 7 hexes of the southern and western map edges
- Max CAP setting 70% (to avoid uberCAP)
- No army planes operating from CVs and CVLs.
- No sub invasions
- No one-two transport ship TFs in ports acting as barriers
- No invasion of Russia before 6/42. Any invasion of Russia needs a 4 day pre-disclosure (IJN puts 1 unit over the border to declare war but actually invasion/combat must wait 4 days.)
- No upgrading of 2e bomber units to 4e bombers.

Summary of the first turn is coming.

Have to add that it is NikMod 5.0 and I corrected the respawning of the early Essex class CVs, added the four ships under their original intended names at the historical entry dates. Also decreased CV op points to about 60% of the original.
