In 1942, Japan dominated the Pacific, and the U.S. desperately needed to hold Australia as a base for a counterattack. The Japanese solution? Isolate Australia by building an airfield on Guadalcanal. The U.S. Marines, caught by surprise, quickly took the airfield, but what followed was a four-month-long epic battle. Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal brings this bloody struggle to your table, with gorgeous maps of beaches and jungles, amphibious landings, Japanese Banzai charges, and night combat. The game uses an action point system that offers tactical freedom but forces tough decisions every turn. The hex grid and modular board ensure each game is unique, while dice rolling adds that essential chaos factor every good war needs. Get ready to command troops in one of WWII's most intense theaters!
