Band of Brothers: Old Breed South Pacific is a fast playing game of squad level combat in WWII. It covers the exploits of the U.S. First Marine Division in the battles for Guadalcanal. The rules are very simple (no combat charts are needed) with very few exceptions to remember and yet the game is meant to be all encompassing and will include infantry, tanks, and artillery.

Based on years of research, the game system uses a unique suppression mechanic. There are no longer two unique states for a unit, but varying degrees of suppression. This allows suppression to accumulate from multiple fire sources and means that the unit will not take a morale check until it is asked to do something. You will never know for sure how your units will respond until they are needed.

Although casualties can be caused by artillery and heavy weapons (which makes them prime battlefield targets), squads will never cause significant casualties shooting at range at dug in, first line troops. Their goal is to fire and maneuver. Sections of the enemy force must be pinned down and eliminated from up close. The system itself forces this realistic play. In a similar fashion, the system rewards you for spreading your troops out and other realistic game play.

Another unique feature of the game is its use of Proficiency and Casualty ratings to differentiate squads in areas besides just morale.

Old Breed South Pacific is a STAND ALONE GAME, but is also part of a growing series of tactical games.

Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles is the first in the series and follows the U.S. 101st Airborne Division.

Band of Brothers: Ghost Panzer is the second in the series and follows the German 11th Panzer Division.

Band of Brothers: Texas Arrows is a dependant expansion that follows the U.S. 36th Infantry Division. ]]> 2-Players-Only Age_9+ Arrival-Jul 29 2023 Arrival-Jun 18 2023 Arrival-Jun 21 2024 Arrival-Jun 7 2024 Arrival-Mar 12 2023 Arrival-Mar 2 2024 Arrival-Mar 29 2024 Arrival-May 12 2024 Arrival-New-Mar-6-12-2023 Arrival-Nov 2 2023 Arrival-Oct 7 2023 Availability_In Stock BF-2023 BGG-Set Category_Wargames Discount_On Sale INV-0-L INV-B Non-TCG Players Maximum_2 Players Players Minimum_2 Players Playtime Maximum_90 Minutes Playtime Minimum_90 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20230430 Restock-20240121 Restock-20240407 Sale Type_Regular Year Published_2020s https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/6890693165107 Default Title 99.95 WPUB 067 3778 https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/7102016833 2016-07-23T08:38:00-04:00 2016-07-23T08:38:00-04:00 Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal - The Pacific 1942 Board Games Academy Games

In 1942, the Japanese empire exploded across the Pacific, conquering everything before them. The only large land mass still held by the Allies was Australia, which they desperately needed as a staging area for a planned U.S. led counter-attack. The Japanese knew of the importance of Australia, but lacked the resources to conquer it, so they decided on the next best thing: Isolate Australia from the United States by building an airfield on the island of Guadalcanal, from which planes could disrupt the Allied supply lines.

The United States, ill-prepared as it was for any offensive actions, immediately attacked with the 1st Marine Division under the command of Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, caught the Japanese by surprise and easily took control of the airfield. The Japanese 17th Army, under the command of Lt. Gen. Harukichi Hyakutake, counterattacked with an ever-increasing number of troops. For the next four months a titanic struggle took place in the air, on land and on sea as the isolated Marines and U.S. Army fought for their lives to hold their tiny perimeter around the airfield against the might of the Japanese Empire.

Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal – Pacific Ocean 1942 recreates this struggle on your tabletop and includes gorgeous beach and jungles maps of the South Pacific, amphibious landing craft, the USMC, Japanese Banzai Charges, night combat, and much more.
