New Guinea + South Pacific
The Adelaide was ordered to attack - as this is a totally useless ship IMO - and it proved to be useless:
Day Time Surface Combat, near Lae [New Guinea] at 56,90
Japanese Ships
PC Ch 21 & Ch 22, Shell hits 4, on fire
AP Bangkok Maru, Shell hits 5, on fire
AP Saigon Maru, Shell hits 5, on fire
Allied Ships
CL Adelaide, Shell hits 2
Instead, the Pensacola which was detached to head for the enemy met some enemy ships landing troops on Tarawa:

I assigned several surface action TFs to attack enemy ships at the beaches where they are unloading troops. Each TF was assigned with 1CL and 4DD, the ships where choosen by their number of torpedoes. While I expect the enemy to be better in night battles, I hoped for some luck to surprise the enemy - and around 50 Torpedoes per TF might be enough even for BBs!
They performed as expected, but when the day came, some unliky ships were attacked and sunk by enemy airpower:

Could you let us know the main differences between this scenario and CVO & EOS? I assume no house rules has been drawn?
Anyway, over 130 enemy AV now on the Island, so it'll be lost in some days.
