In the Spring Event they managed to spread what was basically a three-day IJN cakewalk into three maps. Operation AL, while largely ignored by historians, was both much larger in scale (lasting almost a year) and actually ended with a Japanese defeat. Japanese losses were also much higher there, and Allied opposition was effective. Plus AL was a case of the land-based air force fighting a much smaller naval aviation force. If played out as a prelude to Midway it would be perfect for warming up a major air war system that forces us to use CVs. Expect lots of orbs.
