The Next Historical Scenario
Guadalcanal - Operation Watchtower[/color][/size]
Intro The island of Tulagi had been occupied by the Japanese during the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, 1942. The Japanese quickly established a seaplane base there. However, in June the Japanese began constructing a full-fledged airbase on the nearby island of Guadalcanal. Allied intelligence actually knew of Japanese intentions in the area shortly before the first Japanese construction units landed. An American response, in the form of the 1st Marine Division, was not long in coming.
For the next four months, the land, sea and air around Guadalcanal would be the unlikely scene of the most bitter and protracted battle between the US and Japan in the Pacific war.
Can you help the US hold Guadalcanal or will you side with the Japanese to WIN the Decisive Battle they have been looking for to crush the US in the Pacific. The below is pulled from the Web page for the Scenario that can be found at.
