Battle of the Bismarck SeaThinking about doing this one now that we have B-25s and Beaufighters.
Any interest in such a scenario.......it would pretty much be B-25s, Beaufighters, and PT Boats against a handful of Japanese Destroyers and a good deal of Kinai Marus and fighers.
US Side (39 Heavy Bombers, 41 Medium Bombers, 34 Light Bombers, 54 Fighters) would consist of the following:
2 Halifaxs (to represent B-17s and B-24s)
5 B-25s
4 Beaufighters
1 Sea Hurricane (to represent P-40s)
1 Wildcat (to represent P-38s)
Japanese Side (8 Destroyers, 8 Transports, 100 Fighters) would consist of the following:
8 Destroyes (Yukikaze must be used, as she was actually at the battle)
8 Kinai Marus
4 A6M2 Zeroes
*numbers of US aircraft lessened to increase survivability of the Japanese....sticking true to actual numbers it would have been 13 Halifaxes, 13 Mitchells, 11 Beaufighters

stacking should be four units, so you could have two Kinai Marus and two Yukikaze's in the same hex, otherwise US will win in a couple'a turns, IJN still gonna be pwned I think...

Give the Yukikazes the SA Uniquely Tough hehe. After all, Yukikaze herself did survive the war. This may break the scenario, but maybe it is to consider. There is still plenty of strafing power out there.
