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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal – Pacific Ocean 1942\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22336063425,"sku":"AYG5014","price":88.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Conflict_of_Heroes-_Guadalcanal_The_Pacific_1942.jpg?v=1578609134"},{"product_id":"band-of-brothers-old-breed-south-pacific","title":"Band of Brothers:  Old Breed South Pacific","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" margin=\"1\" padding=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/dean-halley\"\u003eDean Halley\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/jim-krohn\"\u003eJim Krohn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/worthington-publishing-llc\"\u003eWorthington Publishing, LLC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-title ng-binding\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrates With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/band-of-brothers-screaming-eagles\"\u003eBand of Brothers: Screaming Eagles\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/band-of-brothers-ghost-panzer-third-edition\"\u003eBand of Brothers: Ghost Panzer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-url\"\u003e207587\/band-brothers-old-breed-south-pacific\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-forum-url\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/207587\/band-brothers-old-breed-south-pacific\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eBand 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother unique feature of the game is its use of Proficiency and Casualty ratings to differentiate squads in areas besides just morale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOld Breed South Pacific is a STAND ALONE GAME, but is also part of a growing series of tactical games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand of Brothers: Screaming Eagles is the first in the series and follows the U.S. 101st Airborne Division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand of Brothers: Ghost Panzer is the second in the series and follows the German 11th Panzer Division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand of Brothers: Texas Arrows is a dependant expansion that follows the U.S. 36th Infantry Division.","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41210496974899,"sku":"WPUB 067","price":99.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic6320755.jpg?v=1676315048"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/dean-halley.oembed","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
