Re: SEOW Attack on Truk 1944
Campaign is finished, Allied side manage to achive win conditions in last mision.
There was a lot of losses in airplanes and ships on both side in campaign.
At first both side had equal results, and after 3rd mission USN bombers changed tactic and instead mainly bombing repair and supply facilities they focused more on torpedo attacks at warships and cargo ships in Lagoon.
In last mission #6 both sides had a chance to Win, IJN tried to destroy enemy CV and CVLs with Bettys and Emily's to get big VPs, while D4Ys concentrated on DD/DEs already damaged from previous missions, and they almost sunk 2 USN Carriers ( 80%+ damage).
On the other side USN with SBDs and TBFs manage to break through IJN CAP and destroy more IJN ships in Truk lagoon and take enough points for Win.
All in all almost historical result, IJN Truk base is mostly destroyed and loot of airplanes and ships are out of action, and USN TF-58 although suffering more than expected losses, can bypass Truk and not risk Marines landings.
