This game is out of print, but Guadalcanal is not.

@PhilFromIT:

I just pick this up last week and after about 5 games I can say yes. I would warn them however that playing the Allies takes a lot of tactics and maneuvering!

There definitely is a learning curve for the allies.

Hello. And Bye.

Thanks for the quick reply, Frimmel.  Your help is much appreciated  :-)

You can but it has not been playtested with the map. The ideas have been playtested and they work very well in other games. I am working on changes on the air power thing because its not historical. Both sides had limited air power for each day of the campaign and i plan on spreading out the pain of allied 3/9 planes for the last 4 turns of the game , while i feel many games will progress with the statement " if the germans dont get far by turn 4 they should resign" I want to take the same number of air allocations but spread them out over all the turns ( except no allied air allocations on turn one).

So what im saying it go ahead and post but let me email a better version first  to you with these new changes. Ill have it by tomorrow.

So having read the rules it looks like this game will be pretty unpredictable. Even putting a lot of dice on the table it will be up in the air what will get killed and what will have to retreat. Lots of things to manage. Can’t crowd the line too much and not give your troops room to back up can’t get any group too far from the supplies. The key will be when to blitz, and to keep moving before the Allies start pounding the snot out of your trucks with all those aircraft.

Looks like it will be fast paced with lots of action. That twelve sided dice system will take some getting used to. Quite a departure.

Can’t wait for my set to arrive.
