It is Dec 7, 1941 and war explodes across the Pacific when the Japanese attack the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. By May 1942, Japan has spread across the Pacific and is threatening America's supply lines to Australia after building an airfield on the island of Guadalcanal. Guadalcanal continues the multi-award winning Conflict of Heroes series, where players control platoons and companies of individual squads and tanks to resolve the same tactical dilemmas that commanders faced during some of the most ferocious engagements of WWII. In Guadalcanal, the Americans track VPs, but the Japanese track Bushido. If a Japanese commander 'loses face' during battle, his command and men's morale can crumble. This is a groundbreaking new concept that forces players to think like their 1942 counterparts.
