Wow. . . Japs lose Kongo and Akagi on Turn 1? You're not kidding about the IJN having a bad day! LOL
Was it the air rules that needed tweaking? Or just random lucky die rolls?
Actually, I believe Kongo was just very badly hurt and not destroyed...
The rules we used for air were the ones in this thread:
www.steeldreadnought.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=nt&action=display&thread=203
There was a combination of some very good dice on one side, compounded by some bad luck and tactics on the other for the Akagi to go down... essentially the IJN player thought the Akagi was good on its own and didn't need any AA support - the CAP failed, as did the Akagi's AA - the USA TB's rolled better than average which I believe resulted in about 7 torp hits - you know how well it goes after that
