I actually was kicking the tires on looking into doing something like this
right before Sering died. We’d had some conversations about it and he lent me
something like 8 books on carrier battles.
Anyhoo, I’ve always wanted to do something like this and I am emphatically in.
Depending on how many responses you get, I’d be willing to help you on the
administrative side too.

I spent last week in Sandusky Ohio, playing chit-and-hex-map war games for 8
days. Had a fantastic time.While there, I played a double blind game of Flat
Top, the old Avalon Hill war game of carrier battles in the Pacific. Never
played it before.For all that it consisted of a bunch of order writing, then
going off and playing other games while the referee ran through all of the hard
bits, it was an absolute blast. I was wondering if anyone in our group may have
any interest in playing this. It would be played over email, not face to face.
I’d provide all the maps, etc. You’d have to have access to some manner of
basic spreadsheet (Excel, for example).I can provide copies of the rules, but
the vast majority of them y’all wouldn’t need to know. They’d be mostly for my
benefit.It would be a big time investment in terms of how long the game would
likely run (months), but your ACTUAL time investment once the game got going
would be pretty low. You’d command Japanese or Allied land based air, carrier
forces, surface fleets, submarines, transports, oilers, etc. Plot out their
movement, load outs, etc. Send out your scout planes. Load your bombers.
Then I’d run through the turns hour by hour until something happens. At which
point I’d send out an update to whomever. You could then change what you were
doing, keep going, whatever. If you are at least interested in hearing more
about this, please let me know.
