The Battle of the Eastern Solomons- Dawn Start

Post by ranknfile »

I just wanted to say that this is a really great scenario. I will play it again; perhaps as the Japanese, but certainly as the U.S. a second time. I like the long timeline. It was interesting to have to bring aircraft from Henderson Field to your CVs and turn them around. Very nice!

Note, since I've been asked about this before, why does the player need to do this (with aircraft from Henderson). Historically, aircraft from one of the CV (Saratoga IIRC, but not hometo double check), had been forced to land by impending dusk at Henderson the evening before. When they returned to their carrier, they were "mysteriously" without the bombs they'd previously had ;)

Glad you enjoy it!
