Your Marines are tough but isolated as the Japanese build up around you.  Your biggest asset is Henderson Field, a small airstrip that gives you control of the sea lanes during the day; at night, the Japanese sneak in boats with men and supplies, and sometimes bombard the field directly.  You must weigh the various threats against you and defend the island until relief comes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the two-player game you take the role of the Japanese commanders, trying to take back Guadalcanal or of Vandegrift, the American commander, trying to hold on to Henderson Field.  The status of Henderson Field depends primarily on the state of the runway, which the Americans are constantly trying to improve while the Japanese bombard it by air, land, and sea.  As the Japanese player your troops slowly arrive, and it is difficult to build enough force to gain a clear advantage.  Also, the Marine artillery and light tanks with Vandegrift are a decisive factor when they are able to engage in battle.  You must always use the jungle and fog of war to hide your troops as they maneuver for attack against the Marine perimeter around Henderson Field.  Also, you have one advantage, your navy, which can bombard the Marine positions.  As Vandegrift, you must protect the airfield from Japanese attack and bombardment.  If they are able to close in and bring their artillery into range of the airfield all is lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41227288281139,"sku":"WPUB 084","price":89.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic7324049.jpg?v=1677817277"},{"product_id":"rommels-war-1","title":"Rommel's War","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"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\/derek-croxton\"\u003eDerek Croxton\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\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e30-60 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 id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e407575\/rommels-war\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/407575\/rommels-war\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n         \u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n   \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eRommel's War is a 2 player game about the first year of the war in the desert, from March to December of 1941.  One player takes the role of Rommel in command of Axis forces, and the other player takes the role of the British commanders (Wavell and Auchinleck).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game only has 8 pages of rules and a playing time of 1 hour so you will be picking the sand from your shorts in no time in this exciting, fast paced game of decision in the desert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42180028137523,"sku":"WPUB 088","price":89.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/files\/pic7917566.jpg?v=1715063223"},{"product_id":"kings-coalition","title":"King's Coalition","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"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\/derek-croxton\"\u003eDerek Croxton\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\/play-to-z\"\u003ePlay to Z\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\u003e2-5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 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\u003e8 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e335652\/kings-coalition\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/335652\/kings-coalition\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe King, facing unrest at home and abroad, has fired his key advisors.
