"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
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.
Ah Avalon Hill They were the best IMHO
