A/N: I don't anything save for the OCs. Note this is the Strike Witches Version of the Battle of Midway. The Neuroi ships, well some of them belong to Colonel AmiruddinArifSulaiman, same with some of the magic abilities.

Important Information; without this information you will have a hard time understanding the story.
Expect the Torpedo Bombers, particularly the Liberions to suffer heavily. With the complete and utter destruction of one Torpedo Bomber Squadron VT-8, with VT-3 and VT-6 both taking very heavy losses.
As for the planes that the Neuroi will be using will be an amalgamation of planes that are Russian, Swedish, and British.
Fighters: Lavochkin La-11Ns (fictional carrier based Version of the La-11)
Torpedo Bombers/Level Bombers: Fairey Spearfish
Dive Bombers: Saab 17C
Heavy Bomber: Myasishchev M-4

Midway Atoll is composed of two decent sized islands so I really couldn't squeeze that many extra planes, in fact just so the Liberions and Fusoans aren't so crowded the Fusoans are using all of Eastern Island, which is the smaller of the two Islands at 366 Acres compared to Sand Island which 1117 Acres.
Now it's time for the 800lb Gorilla to enter the arena. The Neuroi are going to be fielding quite the force or really two forces, composed of the following composition of ships; note original ones will have the ship they are based on in parentheses. The first force listed is the Carrier Group:
Four Storm Cloud-class Super Carriers; Aircraft Complement: 110 each
Two Terminator-class Fleet Carriers (Kuznetsov-class Heavy Aircraft Carrying Cruiser); Aircraft Complement: 85 each
Three Ravager-class Fast Battleships (Alsace-class Battleship)
Two Warlock-class Battlecruisers (Stalingrad-class Battlecruiser)
Four Exterminator-class Heavy Cruisers
Two Hawkeye-class Heavy Cruisers (P-class Heavy Cruiser)
One Wraith-class Light Cruiser (M-class Light Cruiser)
Ten Silent-class Destroyers
Eight Hunter-class Destroyers (Udaloy-II-class ASW Destroyer)
The second force is an Invasion Fleet for Midway Island once the enemy Aircraft Carriers have been destroyed and the runways at Midway have been put out of commission:
One Hell-class Super Battleship
Three Ravager-class Fast Battleships
Three Warlock-class Battlecruisers
Two Grunt-class Light Carriers (II-class Aircraft Carrier); Aircraft Complement: 23 each
Eight Slayer-class Heavy Cruisers (Canarias-class Heavy Cruiser)
Six Wraith-class Light Cruisers
Twelve Silent-class Destroyers
Eight Hunter-class Destroyers
Four Savage-class Amphibious Transport Docks (Type 071 Amphibious Transport Dock)
Approximately 35 Support Ships
The amount of aircraft the Neuroi are going to be fielding is awe-inspiring; with 610 Carrier Based Aircraft, nearly 20 Scout Planes based on various ships, and based out of Neuroi held Wake Island 35 M-4 Heavy Bombers. All told the Neuroi were fielding 665 Aircraft.
I am going to try to get this story as close to historically accurate as humanly possible. Yet I am only human so expect some mistakes. However let's get this show on the road.
