There is alot that hasn't been covered during the Battle of Midway for CFS2.I know missions of the carrier ops and the attack on Midway Island have been done.
How many know there was a PBY torpedo attack on the IJN Transports with one ship hit?
There were also several B-17 searches and attacks.What about the B-26 attacks,Vindicator,Dauntless attacks(from Midway) and Avengers from Hornets torpedo group stationed on Midway?
Just some thoughts.

If some one wants to take a stab at it the below PDF link may be usefull but I can't make heads or tails of the charts as they cram every thing onto one chart from what I can tell.

Thanks Allen!
Nice document!
Most of the charts, except for the first one, are pretty straight forward- at least they seem so to me at first glance.
However, the first big chart- the battle overview chart- is a tad hard to follow because they have divided it into 4 quadrant views.
I copied and pasted together a full size version with the 4 quadrants fitted together.
The action, from what I can tell, starts down in the lower left hand corner and proceeds NE from there with each particular phase of the battle given its own little outlined & shaded area.
Its fairly legible- may require a little squinting here and there.
To copy/save just right click on the image, choose view image, left click the magnifying glass then right click to copy and/or save.
Cheers,

Still find the chart useless as before as I can't see what day any thing happen. WTF was wrong with a chart for each day?!?!
"Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right!" Some SOH Founder.
LOL! Oh come on.
Each shaded and outlined area is a different day and each of them is labeled with the day near the top right corner of each outlined area.
The lower left area is June 3.
The next shaded area NE and the most North-easterly areas are June 4.
The large area in between the two June 4 areas is June 5.
And finally, the area sitting above the first June 4 area, is June 6.
Easy acne! :^)
I'll conced that at first blush it isn't the most intuitively obvious diagram I have ever seen. It doesn't win many clarity points.
Cheers,
MR
