BBs: Kongo, Haruna

CL: Isuzu (Nagara Class, best match might be Kuma, IMO)

DDs: Oyashio, Kuroshio, Hayashio (Asashio best fit for these 3 Kagero DDs), Umikaze, Kawakaze, Suzukaze (Shiratsuyu Class), Takinami, Makinami, and Naganami (Yugumo Class, Asashio also best here).


That's the October 13th force from Richard Frank's definitive Guadalcanal (great book, BTW).

Thanks Tater. I have been using kuma for the CL, but fubuki for destroyers, I'll have to change that. I have set everything to elite, and set the goal to sink one of the BB. In testing this force is kicking my butt.

BTW, my substitutions aren't arbitrary, Kagero was an improved Asashio, and virtually identical in appearance. Yugumo was an improved Kagero.
