Pick a battle and watch the animation. What's good is it shows step by step, where they come from, the path and the battle. It gives you good info where to set up an attack.

Take the Solomons, starting with battle of Coral Sea...I found and sank the Shoho, then cut off the Jap TF above San Cristobal..spl..but great ambush zone. The GC campaign is great, you have Savo island battle, the large battle of Santa Cruz, several large JP TF..ect, so pay attention to those. I don't mess much with all the fast DD's running the slot, but almost nightly, some groups 16 or more...

I've fought every major and most minor battles in RSRD and they seem to be scripted to almost perfection with this animation...Some are fun when you watch large surface forces having at it, planes attacking, ect. Sometimes fun just to hang back and watch em go at it....then you can sneak in and kill the ones dead in the water.

Also pay attention to the invasion forces listed...Like Lae, Wewak, ect..
