A tiny, little known island in the Pacific, called Guadalcanal played host to the first American offensive of the war. The six-month struggle resulted in the American’s securing a foothold in the region but at a terrible cost. Approximately 7,000 Americans and over 30,000 Japanese lost their lives.
From Henderson field the allies could begin the island hopping campaign in the Pacific. The first move took place in late February when troops landed in the Russel Islands, 55 miles north of Guadalcanal. Six weeks later Navy Seebee’s had completed an airfield and a Marine Air Group was in operation. The drive ‘up the slot’ was underway.
Please give me your side preference - and hopefully I can place you there.
We will be making a few changes in the coming week. Two new forums will be viewable by the FRAME CO's and their XO's. All Frame CO's can use it to plan strategy and exchange ideas. It is hoped that if real life issues get in the way of planning or cause a frame CO to miss the event that the other 2 CO's will be aware of the battle plans and can step in and run with it.
Every month the frame CO's and XO's will be changed with the new Squad-Ops.
