Guadalcanal Solitaire Bookgame

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.
