Actually come to think of it, we can put together a battle involving IJN light cruisers and destroyers and the Asiaic fleet and play that as a separate engagement.
Nope. Divide them as you see fit into as many groups as you please. Also, I’ll look up an OOB of the Asiatic fleet and build a force of light cruisers and destroyers to combat it.
By the way, these are the units I had to choose from for this scenario. A couple of these destroyers came over with Wasp or the other carrier.
Also add Phelps 10 x 5 Wainwright 9 x 2 Monaghan 8 x 8 Smith 8 x 18 Sterett 7 x 3 Bagley 7 x 8 Gwin 7 x 6 Edsall 6 x ? Ward 6 x ? Taney 6 x 1 Nautilus 15 x 1 Gudgeon 11 x 6 S-37 8 x ? Langley 6 x 1 Neosho 4 x 4 Vestal 4 x 1 PBY 7 x B-17 6 x Dauntless 13 x SBD-3 Dauntless 10 x Devastator 9 x 6 Wildcat 7 x Buffalo 5 x
Well, I’d say within a certain number of sectors of each other they are considered “on the battlemap” and we move down to another map with the ships themselves.
