August 1942: The Solomon Islands
Japan occupies the Solomon Islands, interfering with Allied supply lines in the South Pacific. In a surprise attack, the Americans capture Guadalcanal and its invaluable airstrip. As the Imperial Navy struggles to regain and strengthen its hold on the Solomons, the U.S. must press its counterattack in order to seize control of the island chain.
Axis & Allies: Guadalcanal challenges 2 players to command fleets of ships, direct aircraft, and deploy ground forces in order to dominate the enemy in one of the crucial campaigns of World War II. This version contains updated miniature sculpts, Airstrip tokens, and rulebook containing answers to FAQs.

Guadalcanal review
Plays different from other axis and allies games, but still very cool. Have to use the navel a lot more, but creates good practices for large scale axis and allies.

Guadalcanal
Outstanding product, true to the original. Thank you for taking over the Axis and Allies line. Long time players love this, and this allows us to get a new generation or two into the landmark game. The original AH games are hard to find and expensive when you do find them on the secondary market. I am looking for ward to the new releases of the old games you have coming as well as the all-new North Africa campaign and accessories. Please keep the surveys foe new scenarios and large format maps going. I have already preordered all existing offerings, again, thanks.
