Quick question: can I deploy the Walrus flying boats anywhere on the first row?

I actually like setting up second :-(. Oh well, give me a minute and I'll post my deployment.

If you go back to page two of the Online Matches section you can see the 300 pt. build I used against Mnnorthstars that incorporates a much stronger initiative bid.

Yes, but would I be able to have such a large submarine wolfpack? I've literally set up a blockade (not that it will last...)

Well, the USN could also in theory make an even higher one:
Flag 2 (NJ), Flotilla Leader (SanFran), Carrier Leader (NJ), Destroyer Leader (Phelps). That adds to a +9, there's probably some stuff I'm missing too.
I'm aware; I sacrificed that to be able to have such a large sub swarm.

Here are my moves (updated ship positions are shown in red, allowing you to easily see where a ship was previously).

I wasn't aware that the IJN could make such a strong initiative bid. I'll have to use Yahagi in future builds.

I'm fairly certain that it's +5 (+2 from Sho-Go, +3 from flotilla leader). I'll post my moves in a bit.

And I'll put all my Hellcats on Bunker Hill considering you don't have any attack aircraft.
