What is First Blood: The Guadalcanal Campaign
First Blood: The Guadalcanal Campaign is a battalion-level board-wargame simulating the Battle of Guadalcanal. Starting in August of 1942 and concluding in early 1943, the US Marines invaded and captured a small airfield, and then, with the US Army, spent months fighting off Japanese attempts to recapture or destroy the airfield.
Guadalcanal is considered one of the turning points in the War in the Pacific. Japanese expansion was stopped, and the Japanese Army confronted a foe who didn't flee from banzai charges. The Japanese found themselves unable to support offensive efforts on Guadalcanal and in New Guinea at the same time.
First Blood: The Guadalcanal Campaign was included with the SILVER Anniversary Issue of the A.H.I.K.S.-Vol.-26~#6-magazine and the game is akin to a "kit" in that you have to mount and cut-out the counters. They have been printed on adhesive backed paper which makes it easier for producing this aspect of the game.
The contents of the game include: the RULES Folder(8)-pages; a thick paper CHART; a Sheet of adhesive backed counters(over 150); & a (4)-COLOR 11" by 17" thick paper Mapsheet; while players will need to provide their OWN 6-sided DIE.
