War in the Pacific: Admirals edition Bay12LP

Ok this will be a minor(slow) but interesting LP :D

People can register as members of the IJN(Imperial Japanese Navy) as either:

Ship commander
Plane commander
Pilot
31st army commander/regiment commanders(Artillery, armored, infantry, engineers, navalguns)

There are more possibilities.

It's a 3 month scenario of one day turns. It's basicly going to culminate in a big carrier battle.
In reality the IJN got slaughtered and lost 3 carriers and 600 planes, effectivly crippling the IJN's offensive ability for the rest of the war.

22nd May 1944 - 5th Aug 1944

I will try and keep track of everyone, although sometimes people will be eliminated in things like CAP patrols or a failed landing and may fall off the radar :( But i'll do my best!

There are a hell of alot of options, if anyone wants more detail on what planes/ships/positions their are please ask :D
