We manage a big game to represent the 1/15/43 AM run back up the slot by 9 Japanese destroyers-Arashi, Hamakaze, Isokaze, Tanikaze, and Urakaze as transports with Akizuki, Kuroshio, Maikaze and Tokitskaze as escorts. (pg 107-115 in Operation Ke/Letourneau is the source for the scenario)
The US had 3 players and 17 planes-9 SBDs, 4 F4Fs and 4 P-39s out of a historical 33 And the Japanese had 13-6 Zekes, 3 Hamps and 4 KI43s, out of 21 historically among 4 players

US did better than what they did in 1943 and sunk 3 DDs.

Hi Mark I went to your Flickr page and my mouth just dropped when I saw your terrain for your land games. The use of cheap styro and a bed sheet is simply amazing. Can you explain how you get all those colorful textures? I know you use oily pastel chalk, but how you've incorporated all those colors is just breath taking. I'm starting my own ww2 mini's group (hopefully) and your terrain is exactly what I'm looking for. Do you use a base color sheet then spray on various colors? Appreciate any info you can supply. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!! |
