How about this so far.
1. Knights hit the statics at Russell Islands (51)
2. 23rd based at Shokaku covering the forward fields.
Briar does this sound plausible for your group to cover. We are only around 10 points behind and if we can stop them and hit the static ships north of Russell Islands, I think we can do it.
Let me know what bases we should use. The Knights will stay where they are and take the Kates NOE to the ships. The bad weather could work for us if I do this correct. I need a drink now..
Still thinking about the rest...
As Beaver said, having a group of Zekes SW to S of 51 may be just the ticket to drawing at least one of their fighter groups away from 51. We could do that and just tie them up to the south of you. We would need to time this so that we have drawn them south before the Knights committed. I'll run this by Doc, Looboy and Sakai and get back with you on basing and tactical recommendations.
