Cactus Air Force Wings at War

 

I've been reading up on the Guadalcanal air campaign for my Bag the Hun scenario project and, while my focus will be on 1943, I have been giving some thought to a Wings at War set of rules covering the so called Cactus Airforce in 1942. This is still very sketchy but I think there is a lot of potential for a game based on the Japanese attempt to knock out Henderson airfield, while the USMC and USN fly to defend it. It would pinch some mechanisms from Scramble for Britain and Flames Above the Falklands but otherwise would be quite different. I'm sure it would be an interesting option too, with lots of potential for bombing, dogfighting and even torpedo attacks on shipping.
