Japanese points

[Greg Smith]

My best estimate for Japanese points, based on my previous estimates and several games that included Type 93 torpedoes. This does not factor in the Long Lance rule, which makes Japanese ships with type 93s even more effective (that's 4 out of 6 destroyers and more than half of the cruisers). I haven't tried Kamikaze aircraft at all, so until I've had a game or two, I'm not going to guess at points.

Kamikaze points

Yokosuka D4Y2 Judy kamikaze flight 20 points
Mitsubishi A6M Zero kamikaze flight 20 points
Nakajima Ki-115 Tōka kamikaze flight 25 points
Yokosuka MXY-7 Okha kamikaze flight 30 points

I think the rule about the modified Betty needs removing. I envisage it like this: turn 1. Okha flights move away from the Betty. Turn 2-3 Betty flights mill about near the edge of the battlefield. Turn 3, player removes Betty flights from the table because the miniatures keep getting knocked on the floor. They are useless and serve no purpose in the game.

Had an epiphany about Long Lance over the weekend - standby for an update...
