Scenario length – 20 minutes June 4, 1942 In many ways, the United States Navy fought very poorly at Midway. One of the worst aspects was a nearly catastrophic lack of air strike coordination. However, when the decisive moment came, the US forces executed one of the most brilliant attacks of the war. The Enterprise and Yorktown dive bomber groups arrived over the Japanese fleet at nearly the same time. Within a few moments, three fleet carriers were left burning, and the Pacific War had changed completely.
