Midway Rising - multi-player?

While preparing for a Guadalcanal campaign, I need something for my gaming group while I prepare more models.

I will be running the Midway Rising campaign, but not as a solo game.

Any warnings or thoughts? I see that the AI is usually bumped up an aircraft, which I won't be doing.

What is AI ?

AI = artificial intelligence, or, more colloquially, the opposition in a solo game.

Have a read through the AARs, they might give a better insight as to how the games went from different perspectives.

Thanks Neil, great advice.

Yes, if playing solo, you can either - plan and move both planes, OR to add a bit of intrigue, your "opponent's" moves are done by "random". It's not really random, there are some great tools that folks have created (both using cards and a quick app) to determine a reasonable move based on where opposing planes on the board.

Midway Rising play-area size?

Is there a standard for the size of the playing area for these missions to get the right balance?
Perhaps I didn't look deep enough.

Using a 6' (or longer table) would put the bombers at a distinct disadvantage, as I've learned from a previous AAR...

Thanks!
