If A-go had gone to plan though, it would have been a pretty brutal battle given it was an attempt at forcing the Kantai Kessen they had been after since day one. 400+ strike craft attacking from beyond USN carrier range first attempting to hit the carrier group which would have then basically given the IJN free rein to hit the transports and beacheads, either forcing a surface battle with the remains of TG58/38 which wouldn't stand a chance without their air cover or forcing the invasion force to withdraw and regroup. Either way would deny the US Saipan and a lot of their strength in the region.

I could imagine 4 maps for that, two or three as combined fleet and then a shiplocked detached force sorta like last summers E4 and E5 plus a 2 map counterattack against the Abyssal base that launched the attack. Thats just personal opinion, and maybe a little bias as I love the behind enemy lines style extra missions they've been doing for the past couple of events.

Prolly be bloody salty no matter where it the event is set though :3
