As originally stated, it pitted the 1940 Luftwaffe against the 1945 USN. A
bit of a mind bender, and one must certainly wonder what would motivate such
an exercise.

But here we are and to be true to the original premise, the Luftwaffe is
strictly forbidden to engage in any activity that it could not have
performed in 1940 (month not specified) while the USN is free to do anything
it could do in 1945 (again, month not specified).

Looks to me like a walkover for the USN, though not necessarily a bloodless
one. I can't imagine why Andrew would have brought up such a ridiculous
scenario unless he completely underrates USN capabilities in 1945.
