    The next morning we had a game with a secret. Unknown to anyone (but Rich and myself) one of the Betty bombers was carrying admiral Yamamoto.

    Great stuff, Bob


    Lots of planes I wish Ares would get around to making as well

    P.S. I recognize that water - Joanne's fabric really comes in handy

    The bombers hit their targets. 1 airfield damaged and out of action and the other also damaged.

    No US planes shot down but Japanese have landed the admiral and bombed both US bases. Good battle.

    Hope you enjoy the report.

    many thanks to Rich for coming up with the game and to all the people that flew in this game.

    That was a great game! I flew the plain-nosed P-38 that damaged the Admiral's Betty in the left engine. I had no idea that Yamamoto was in this scrap! I was wondering why that Betty landed! Most of the family participated in that one. Dad flew a Betty and a Zero (guy in the blue shirt), and my little brother flew the Corsiar with the bright-blue underbelly. They both enjoyed it tremendously.

    Thumbs up

    That looked like a great action filled game.
    I do love games based on Historical Incidents.

    Well done everybody!

    Great game Bob . Nice to see a "What if " scenario coming out slightly different to history.
