Conflict of Heroes : Guadalcanal '42 - '43

Description : Conflict of Heroes : Guadalcanal '42 - '43 is set in 1942, when the Japanese exploded across the Pacific. To cut off Australia, the only bastion left for the Americans in the East, the Japanese planned to build an airbase on Guadalcanal.

The United States, ill-prepared as it was for any offensive actions, immediately attacked with the 1st Marine Division under the command of Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, caught the Japanese by surprise and easily took control of the airfield. The Japanese 17th Army, under the command of Lt. Gen. Harukichi Hyakutake, counterattacked with an ever increasing number of troops. For the next four months a titanic struggle took place in the air, on land and on sea as the isolated Marines and U.S. Army fought for their lives to hold their tiny perimeter around the airfield against the might of the Japanese Empire.

Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal recreates this struggle on your tabletop and includes gorgeous beach and jungles maps of the South Pacific, amphibious landing craft, the USMC, Japanese Banzai Charges, Night combat and much more.
