Interesting, I had not read much about that. I really wish the citation in that section of the wiki page was better; does anyone around here have a book on British carriers to reference?
Upon a cursory google search, I found the following passage on this site, which seems reliable (https://ww2db.com/ship_spec.php?ship_id=339):
"After a refit at the Norfolk Navy Yard in the United States, Victorious sailed through the Panama Canal for the Pacific Theater on loan to the US Navy; during this time, she had the code name USS Robin, named after the character Robin Hood. Sailing alongside of American carrier Saratoga, she participated in the Solomon Islands Campaign in 1943, including supporting the invasions of Bougainville and New Georgia. During this time she operated 60 British and American Wildcat fighters. She returned to Britain near the end of 1943 when the commissioning of carrier Essex relieved the American need for fleet carriers."

Your Emily going for the I-19? If so, my Zekes there and we can do AA.
Yes my Sunderland will go for the sub. Sorry for the delay, I’ve been working on making a website for my naval history writings.

I will play the IJN though. Standard map or large?

Is 200 pts. on a regular map ok? We could do a 100 point game too. I'm up for playing USN or IJN '43 or '44.
200 points 1943 sounds good, could I be the USN?
.....I only asked so I could finally use USS New Jersey :-(..... but sure lol.

Keep in mind I am also up for another large map game using long-distance rules.

I really do find large map games fun, but I think they need the long distance rules/houserules for balancing. Aircraft are just too good if they can be used every turn.
Yeah you're right about that

I don't want to be a bad sport in not playing the game out to its conclusion, but it truly feels hopeless. Want to play another game?
How about a smaller game this time?
