Under Southern Skies

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES is a scenario and campaign book for the popular CHECK YOUR 6! Air Combat and Campaign Rules. The book provides five campaigns and 35 scenarios covering the air campaign over Darwin, Australia and neighboring Japanese-held islands in 1943.

  • The first 7 scenarios deal with reconnaissance missions by both sides and the first two Japanese Naval Air Force raids on Darwin in March 1943 as No. 1 Wing, led by W/C Clive Caldwell, tries to learn how to stop them.
  • The next 9 include early efforts by 31 Squadron RAAF Beaufighters to strike Japanese bases and the JNAF’s attempt to neutralize the Beaufighters’ forward staging base at Millingimbi.
  • These are followed by more raids on Darwin, including a large one by the Japanese Army Air Force; No. 1 Wing finally “learning the ropes”; JNAF floatplanes trying to interdict the sea lanes north of Australia while the RAAF takes measures to stop them, and finally, a night raid on Darwin. Zeros dogfighting Spitfires! Beaufighters strafing things!
