Guadalcanal Solitaire

Guadalcanal Solitaire

Heavy weight: Expect a long teach

From BoardGameGeek

You are the 1st Marine division tasked with holding Guadalcanal against the Japanese. Your Marines are tough but isolated as the Japanese build up around you. Your biggest asset is Henderson Field, a small airstrip that gives you control of the sea lanes during the day; at night, the Japanese sneak in boats with men and supplies, and sometimes bombard the field directly. You must weigh the various threats against you and defend the island until relief comes. You are the American player in the game as it centers on Japanese attempts to capture Henderson Field by land. They have three avenues of attack: from the east (Koli Point), west (Point Cruz), or south (Bloody Ridge). Your mission will not be easy. Good luck. Now you are in command and the decisions are yours… All you need to provide is a die, a pen, and a sense of adventure to play. GAME SUMMARY Guadalcanal: Solitaire contains 24 game plays of the solitaire gameboard. Each game play includes a Japanese Actions/Events table and The American Actions/Events table with a map of Guadalcanal. Each play you can write directly on the game map to show unit reinforcements, movement, and losses. Also, track your turns, air power, and the state of Henderson Field all on the board for each game play. Game plays take about 30 minutes or less to finish, with no set up or clean up, open the bookgame and re-fight the battle of Guadalcanal anywhere.
