- Well, playing as the US plyr does take a little finesse. But you do have
- a little advantage on your side. The Japanaese cannot afford to lose
- their naval aircraft. The VP cost is very high. To tip the balance,
- you'll have to hit them with a full Dauntless strike and hope you get at
- least one carrier and damage the rest such that they can't launch
- anymore. Do not launch search planes from your carriers! You whittle
- down the strength of your strike this way. Search with your catalinas
- from Midway. When you find them (if you're playing historical they're NE
- Variant A SE) close to 240 miles, launch emergency CAP of all your
- Wildcats, launch all your Dauntless dive-bombers, hit them, pray your
- fighters get most of his planes, then getta heck outta there! If you're
- really lucky, your land-based planes will get his transports and you'll
- score a marginal at least.
