    It is late October 1944, A group of Japanese Kamikazes and escorts are sent to attack the landing and support ships off Luzon.
    US Navy fighters are with their carriers chasing the Japanese carrier force so no US Navy or USMC birds are available to send to intercept them.
    Fortunately the US Army Air Force just deployed a couple of squadrons of fighters, P-51s and P-47s to some carved out makeshift airfields on a small island near the Philipines. These are sent up to intercept the incoming attack before it reaches the transports and landing craft.
    This is a last ditch attack by Japan with out-dated aircraft likewise launched from Islands near the Philipines.
    This scenario is designed to show the disparity between early war and late war aircraft.

    The Japanese attacking force comprises Six Mitsubishi A6M2 Riesen's (Zeroes), Three Aichi D3A1 Val's, and up to Three Kawasaki Ki-61 Hein's (Tony's).

    Intercepting this force are up to 7 or 8 allied fighters, comprising of a mix of P-51 Mustangs and a lone P-47D from an Aussie Squadron that happened to land at the USAAF Airfield because he was low on petrol.

    The Japanese Objective is to reach the US landing forces heading for Luzon. If the Japanese get at least two of the Vals off of the opposite edge of the map, or at least half of the starting A6M's off off of the opposite edge of the map. the Japanese win the scenario.

    If the Japanese lose all but one or all of the Vals, and all of the A6M's. they lose the scenario.

    The American Objective is to destroy all of the Japanese inbound Aircraft. Their primary targets are the Vals. Their secondary targets are the escorting Fighters.
    (The Americans do not know that the A6M Zeros are actually Kamikazes as are the Vals.)
    Any escorting Hein's (Tony's) are not Kamikazes but are strictly there for escorting purposes.
