Played a couple scenarios last night with a few friends.
The first saw each player take 4 aircraft, with the objective to sink the enemy carriers.
Both sides set up
Initial combat
Smoke, smoke everywhere
After I drew my third boom out of four planes things seemed to go in favour of the Japanese even though many of their bombers had taken smoke
However some severe errors lead to collisions that brought the balance back
Finally the US manage to down the last two enemy aircraft (one succumbs to the fire and the other takes shots from the wildcat behind it).
Victory goes to the US, with one direct hit on Shokaku and no hits on American warships, 4 remaining US planes with only one remaining Japanese fighter the IJN have no choice but to retreat.
