Designer Notes
We don't have a New Britain terrain so we have to use the Slot.
Rabaul is actually about 200 miles NW of A20.

CM Notes
Suggest start time of 0530 and have the time X2. Make sure American buff pilots use formations of 3.

Jump all Task Groups out of the area. Numbers will favor the IJN, but the buff formations will be tough on the light Zero's. Co alt merge should help keep things even.
