Guadalcanal Campaign

_Guadalcanal Campaign_ is a turn-based wargame simulating the 1942 Battle of
Guadalcanal during the Second World War. It lets the player command American
land, sea, and air forces between August 7 and December 31, pitting them
against the Japanese (controlled by second player or the computer).
Alternatively, a short campaign (October 1 – December 31) and short scenarios
(Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz) are also available.

Each game turn represents 12 hours (the full campaign lasting 147 days, 2
turns per day). A game turn consists of reinforcing your troops, moving task
forces (numerous ships are included, from destroyers to aircraft carriers) and
troops into position, launching air missions and patrols (each side has one
fighter type and four bomber types, plus recon floatplanes) and combat
resolution. The map is a 40×40 grid stretching from Truk to northern Australia
shore, with key ports and airbases. Victory points are computed at the end of
each game.
