I'm curious since I've never seen the Battle of Midway as portrayed in the game. There were quite a few separate elements of the Japanese fleet employed in the attempt to take Midway spanning the Northern Pacific. Does the sim show these other elements...or just Nagumo's First Carrier Striking Force?

No Japanese subs in the game either. Guess the Yorktown doesn't get sunk.

The stock Midway has the Kido Butai, Main Body, Kondo's force, and at least Tanaka's group, maybe Kurita's.

TM has all of them, and with the best approximation of ships possible (all named, BTW). My kido butai is actually in an accurate IJN box formation, too (~7,000m between CVs, each with a guard DD, appropriate CAs and BBs screening, etc)

RSRD also has all the right ships.
