History This is a fictional scenario. Two nations, Red and blue, compete for influence and power. Blue is much stronger, but Red has managed to build a large Navy and a powerful aeronaval force with skillfull pilots. Red has shortage of natural resouces. Both nations are separated by 3000 miles of water. Between those countries lies the Midway island, which is very rich in mineral resources, mainly oil, iron, copper an thin. The capture of this island, currently in Blue´s hands, would vastly improve Red´s strategic situation. However, the two main population centres in Midway are heavily defended by anti-ship batteries. So Red HQ decides to launch an amphibious attack in the Western side of the Island, which is poorly defended. This would make possible to capture a small airfield in the island and bring and based aircraft to achieve local air superiority. Coupled with Naval superiority, this would cut the Blue supply lines, forcing them to surrender.

This scenario was designed to test the possibilty
of aeronaval scenarios in TOAW ACOW.

1. Unit Colors

1.1. Force Red

Naval forces: Blue
Carrier based AF: Blue
SNLF: Light Blue
Engineers: Green on Light blue
Army: Red
Land based A/F: Blue on blue

1.2. Force blue

Naval units: Brown
Carrier based planes: Brown
Marine planes: Green
Marine Div: Black
Police: Light Brown
Garrisson: Light Brown

2. Special aspects

Each Capital ship and Carrier is represented as a single unit made of 2-5 ships of the same type.

Only after turn 4, Red forces will have sea transport. This simulates tha fact that the invsion force is usually sent after the main force
Unfortunately, this scenario was saved as OPART 300, althought it was not planned for OPART300

3. House rules

ships in the retreat hexes can´t be attacked. Both Red and Blue have their own retreat areas. This simulates ships retired from map due to damage or withdrawal orders

4. History

This is a fictional scenario. Two nations, Red and blue, compete for influence and power. Blue is much stronger, but Red has managed to build a large Navy and a powerful aeronaval force with skillfull pilots. Red has shortage of natural resouces. Both nations are separated by 3000 miles of water. Between those countries lies the Midway island, which is very rich in mineral resources, mainly oil, iron, copper an thin.

This scenario covers the first 15 days of the operation. Red can win by securing a bridgehead and delievering a decisive blow to the enemy navy

5. Theater options

Red can use embarked torpedo bombers in recon missions. It will increase theater recom, but decrease the number or planes able to do anti ship attacks
