Battlestations: Pacific/Coral

Island Capture - Small

This dark and stormy map is somewhat awkward in that the Allies have to defend only a single base - a combination airfield and shipyard. The Japanese, meanwhile, must defend their shipyard and a single aircraft carrier. This makes things somewhat more challenging as they must choose whether to bring their carrier into battle (and have their planes make shorter trips) or to keep it back and be forced to fight the Americans without air support.

The Allies have an advantage here as the Japanese are unable to bring their Ohkas to bear. Meanwhile the Allies still have access to their TBM Avengers. Japanese fighter cover is essential to keeping ships afloat.
