I know this scenario exists already, I believe in a file obtainable from the Check Your 6! discussion group, but I wanted to delve into the mission to shoot down Yamamoto on my own, without reviewing the existing scenario. I am pretty pleased by the result, after consulting various books and YouTube videos about the event. Then I used a little AI to mix the parts together, providing direction in terms of Check Your 6! formatting, and then did some adjusting, and now I have a pretty good scenario for Operation Vengeance. One could of course add in the other eight P-38s but that would make a huge scenario, and historically it was the "Killer Flight" that saw all the action (which begs the question, just where were the covering flights?).
Without further ado, Operation Vengeance.
The Get Yamamoto scenario is in one of the Battle's Above books. My understanding is that the rest of the P-38s were distracting the top cover, allowing the Killer Flight to punch through the close escort and deal with the Bettys.
ReplyDeleteI also did find another version on the discussion group. I need to check the Battles Above and see how Brian created his version.
