"My Brother's Keeper"
It is early September,1943 and the fire of the Pacific war
is raging. In a bold move, the Japanese have landed an
invasion force on the American-held island of Nauru.
At great cost, they have seized 70% of the island. Only the
center of the island remains in American hands. The runway
at Hawkins Field(A5) is still being operated, though shelled
frequently, and the Marine outpost known as Camp Apache (V4)
is trying to shore up the western & southern flanks.
The Japanese are preparing for the final push to overrun
the American bases & claim the entire island for the Empire.
A coded message has been received by the brass at Hawkins.
Help is on the way. Pearl is sending two carrier task
groups, code named Granite & Hammer, to save the besieged
defenders before it is to late! The Navy must move quickly.
Intelligence has reported that Japanese spotters have
located the inbound vessels and reported their heading &
probable destination. The Japanese have sent their own
fleets to intercept and destroy the Naval rescue mission
and help finish of the defenders of Nauru if necessary.
Last known position was 2 days behind the American
fleet's estimated arrival.
Allied Orders:
1. Defend Hawkins field(A5) and Camp Apache(V4) at all costs.
Hold out until help arrives.
2. Naval forces must establish a beachhead
(capture a coastal base).
3. Battle inland, seizing ground until you have an
uninterrupted linkup with Hawkins field for a minimum
of 48 hrs. to get wounded out and supplies in.
4. Fend off the Japanese interceptor fleets before they can
destroy the precious beachhead.
