Archie’s War: The Battle for Guadalcanal

Details

The American 1st Marine Division landed on the island of Guadalcanal in August, 1942, seizing the airfield that the Japanese had built there. The Japanese responded by building up forces on the island in an attempt to retake the airfield. Both sides were hampered by limited supply and very limited intelligence regarding the other’s disposition. This game can be played both as a 2 player game or solitaire, based on the which side of the board you choose. Both games have similar concepts, but are unique to themselves.
1 to 2 player game on the climatic battle in the Pacific in 1942 between the US Marines and Japanese military. Plays in 30-60 minutes.
Join General “Archie” Vandegrift in the jungles of Guadalcanal as you defend Henderson Field from relentless attacks by the battle hardened Japanese forces.
The game includes one double sided game board with a 2 player map on one side that uses diceless combat to achieve victory, and a single player map with an innovative solitaire system.
The 2 player game is a tense chess match of maneuver, deception and surprise. In the solitaire game you play as the Marines as you attempt to hold on to the perimeter protecting Henderson Field against relentless Japanese attacks taking your forces to the breaking point.
