ABattlemap for Guadalcanal

This is good stuff. I really appreciate the color balance in your version.

I watched a part of a Guadacanal History Channel presentation last night and it really makes you want to go right out there and buy the game.

It is only a matter of time now!

The US has to take Santa Isabel, Malatia and evict the remaining Japanese from Guadalcanal on turn one. They have to get even on reinforcement points.

I think the Japanese are better off on turn 1 being in a position to contest New Georgia if necessary, they can get enough together to make it unattractive to the US, but moving the supplies back to build an additional airfield on the island they start with an airfield on. (Map is fuzzy in my head for some reason today.)

The game is short and both sides must move fast but at the same time remember they can’t win it on turn one. IMO.

@Temppa:

Thanks for the tips. I have bought Guadalcanal then and it seems to be a rather good game.

Glad we could help. I was wondering if maybe we’d scared you off and you decided to pick up some Euro game instead.  :-)

Yes, I didn’t post about that part. I had that infantry and artillery move in the same turn, then Armor. But your way works as well. It does cut a step out.

Frimmel is correct. Krieghund answered a similar question for me recently. It is 4 threads below this.

I tried to contact the replacement but no luck so far.

I’m sure he’s working at funagain full time.
