Thanks for the reminder. I'll see if I can get lil GR to do a quick game tonight, in honor of this occasion.

An interesting snippet of information Randy, and just goes to show how a sacrificed piece to gain local superiority can lead to check mate later.

My favourite WW2 Pacific War battle - roughly equal forces, an abundance of the fog of war, so many possible outcomes. Using Avalon Hill's "Flat Top" as a campaign backdrop, played many hours of fun scenarios in 1/700 scale over the years.

An interesting battle; one of the more equal carrier duels. One you can generate any number of WGS fights from.

I think that SPI was toe to toe with them, myself.
