Seriously, nobody has tried to fix this or even knows which MIS file it's in? Anyone who's played an Asiatic campaign must have run into several dozen of these psycho circuses, they're all over the place.
Starts out (usually) like the one on the left, 3 heavy or light cruisers, a screen of half a dozen or so destroyers, 8 of them little troopships. On the right is how they scramble themselves even before you make contact, like they can't even make up their minds where they're going let alone what formation they should be in. I'd love to fix or replace this floating fiasco if I only knew which file to start in.
