The Battle Of Samar battle set includes 68 units (32 planes and 36 ships). It adds 22 new ships to our inventory and allows you to recreate the famous battle of the Japanese Fleet vs. Taffy 3 on  October 25, 1944.   The set includes Japanese Kamikaze plus the aircraft from Taffy 3.

Nice to have the models, but how could one possibly game that "situation"?

Start the scenario at extreme 8" range.

Roll a D10. On the turn indicated by the roll, the
Japanese MUST turn away IF the USN aircraft have made any
torpedo runs (real or not, makes no difference).

If a D10 seems too few turns, roll D10 plus D6.
