I made 2 assumptions on your behalf:

#1 that you would scramble 3 fighters at Carolines (Pretty obvious)

#2 that you would scramble 1 US and 2 ANZAC fighters.

If you want the remaining fighter in the Carolines to be a US fighter, just edit it onto the board, and remove the ANZAC one.

He still has a small one in the Atlantic!

POW!

The American fleet is submerged permanently!

However, I’d be a lot happier if my Japanese fleet consisted of more than 2 battleships and 2 subs, lol… Anzac almost has a bigger fleet that me!
