 Defeat the Imperial Navy
During the 1942-43 campaign for the
southern Solomon Island of Guadalcanal in 1942-43, many naval battles were
fought to cement the material advantage gained by the Allies after the stunning
Japanese losses at the Battle of Midway; NC3: Guadalcanal features 14 of
these scenarios including Savo Island--a costly Allied setback, Cape
Esperance--where the Japanese were struck back hard, Tassafaronga, Cape St.
George, Kolombangara, and others.
Following the HPS simulations Jutland and Tsushima, the first and
second installments of the "Naval Campaigns series," Guadalcanal builds
on the REAL-TIME game engine that allows the player to play against the computer
or against another player, or multiple players, online. Guadalcanal is a
tactical battle simulation which models the individual ships and capabilities
and includes the landmasses of the islands which provide for maneuver
challenges.
Game includes shore data for the famous Iron Bottom Sound including Savo Island, Guadalcanal, and the surrounding islands. Land blocks both movement and line-of-sight.
Radar has been added to the Naval Campaigns game engine allowing ships equipped with radar to spot enemy ships not within the limits of visibility.
Radar detection has been added which allows ships so equipped to detect ships with radar.
The game database includes all of the ships that participated in the historical battles around Guadalcanal including battleships, destroyers, and PT boats. It also includes several extra ships like the Japanese battleship Yamato.
Game features include armor belts, mines, torpedoes, smoke laying, and visibility effects.
A scenario editor is also included with the game;
The scenario editor allows new scenarios to be constructed from the provided ship database and existing scenarios to be modified.
