Conflict of Heroes - Guadalcanal Pacifique 1942

Japan's attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and Japanese domination of the entire Pacific were a real shock to the Western powers.

However, the United States destroyed 4 Japanese aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway, compromising the advantage of the Empire of Japan. To protect itself from American counter-attacks, Japan decides to capture bases in New Guinea and in particular begins to build an airfield at Guadalcanal in order to isolate Australia, the last Allied stronghold in the Pacific.

Although unprepared for a land offensive, the United States managed to capture Guadalcanal Airfield, thanks to the efforts of Chief General Alexander Vandergrift and his first Marine Company. In enemy territory and with low supply reserves, the Marines must now stand up to Lieutenant General Harukichi Hyakutake at the head of the 17th Japanese Army.

Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal recreates these clashes, featuring sublime jungle and beach plateaus, Marine units, Empire units, and more. Guadalcanal takes the same body of rules as the other games in the Conflict of Heroes series and adds new special rules such as American artillery fire, Banzai charges, night combat or movement in jungles.
