In August 1942, the US Marine Corps suddenly landed on Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Islands. The success or failure of supply by sea transportation was crucial.
For the first time in history, this game recreates Guadalcanal's land and water battles on the same map!
Both games can be played individually or can also be linked. In the land-sea game combined play, the naval battle determines the amount of supplies arriving on Guadalcanal and also the success or failure of land artillery. Artillery greatly influences the land battlefield.
