You are the last of Genda's Blade. Bring honour to the Emperor.
Vice Admiral Ōnishi's Special Attack Force will continue their onslaught on the American assault fleet off Leyte. However, one flight of four G4M2s has been given the honour of helping us attack the American Fast Carrier fleet. They will take-off from Clarke Field before dawn and will approach from the south-west. Their attack should catch the Yankees out of position if they move north to greet our attack.
We will continue to head to the NNE and draw the US carriers further away from Leyte. It is unlikely that we will survive after completing that task, but it is my earnest hope that we see the shores of Japan once more.
Radio intercepts place four American battleships out in front of their carriers. The American leader Halsey and his staff are embarked on one of those battleships. If we sink them all we can cut the head off of the US 3rd Fleet and perhaps make our escape!
Good luck!
VAdm Ozawa sends...
Axis objectives are to escape and sink as many of the US battleships as possible. Sinking all four BBs earns an additional 40 VPs.
