I'm working on a new custom mission which is loosely based on the American carrier raid on Truk called Operation Hailstone. The carrier raids took place over a two-day period on February 2-3. A few days before the then C-in-C of the Imperial Navy Adm Koga fearing such a possibilty ordered all major units of the IJN to flee west to Truk.
I'm working on a timeframe where the mission starts on January 28th and I want the Japanese Fleet to leave Truk on Feb 1st. How can I accomplish this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
