Argh!!! Historical first turn, what was I thinking!?!  Ha-ha! Just kidding!
Actually, it was a rather poor showing. KB did strike Pearl, just not hard enough, Force "Z" was untouched - completely - not a single hit, and who in their right mind plotted the AO Shiriya to move all the way to Midway? (I had forgotten about that gem) 2 X 1000 SAP bombs ended her short career.
Alas, the misfortunes of war. There was one bright spot, though; I managed to sink PT-23!

Pearl Harbor: I could ill afford the losses to aircraft and crew, but I needed to strike again. On Dec 7th, I suffered light losses (A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged - B5N2 Kate: 8 destroyed, 12 damaged - D3A1 Val: 1 destroyed, 2 damaged) and managed to inflict heavy damage (187 hits) to Pearl's airfields, so I hoped for the best. Considering the results, I think it was a fair trade:
