This scenario pits US forces against Iranian naval. A pretty significant mismatch.

It took me a bit to grok that we are not moving units really, but in essence due to the scale and platform capabilities most units can remain in place and be effective at range. But at some point the US has to physically take control of VP locations in the Straits. SO lets get it on early!

Aircraft light up the land based Land to Sea Iranian platforms, which I saw as the primary threat. So we ‘overkilled’ on those. Just to be sure.

Everything else then really boils down to rolling 11. The big thing here is at least for me is that there is no real platform differentiation. Everyone works off of a base to hit number. Which is largely abstract.

Iranians attempt strikes.

F-35s devastate Iranian efforts and counter with effective strikes.

The Burke closes in and supports.
