I don't think a sim is out there about this but it would be interesting if history could be re-written.

You could have the attack as it happened of course, but also factors could be thrown in such as the radar indication resulting on a air attack on the strike force, the force being discovered by a sub, air patrol, or a ship.

Depending on how soon the task force was discovered the fleet at pearl could have sortied to met them in a battle at sea.

Also the American carriers could play a role as well, many possibilities exist in having such a sim, has anyone else given this any thought?

It is just that so many factors were overlooked that allowed the Japanese to pull it off as they did, would be interesting to have a chance to replay it in the "what if" format.
