From Wargamer#18 CARRIER STRIKE Tulagi is the airbase shown in hex W11. Buka's air capacity is: flight deck 3, A/F 4, total 5. Eastern Solomons is a 3 day Scenario. Counter display: the AA strengths caption is reversed. The largest figure should be the short range strength, the smallest figure the long range. All Japanese destroyers with a defence strength of 3 should have their AA strengths doubled (this does not apply to counters in the expansion kit). All Japanese destroyers with gunnery factors of 1/10 should be 2110. US DDs 21 and 22 have a defence strength of 2. Clarification The speed of Japanese torpedoes is 16, that of US torpedoes is 10. 7.8 TASK FORCE IDENTIFICATION Once a strike reaches the target hex of an enemy TF previously spotted in the same strategic turn (the TF will therefore still be in the same hex, of course), and provided strike contact is successfully made, the defending player must reveal how many TF's he has in the hex. Separate shadow search (ie search with +3 on the die) is then performed for each TF present in the hex, and the attacking player then decides which he will attack. (This rule renders it less likely that players can avoid the enemy by the mere shuffling of TF Numbers within a single hex in the course of a single turn).
