Description

Get ready to dive into the intense battles of World War II with Operation Watchtower, a historical study of the Guadalcanal campaign. This expansion for Advanced Squad Leader takes you back to 1942, where you'll experience the challenges faced by the Marines and Japanese forces on the island. With 16 scenarios to play through, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the campaign and its outcome, from the initial battles to the final showdowns. The game's hexagon grid and modular board bring the island's terrain to life, while the simulation mechanics put you in the midst of the action. As you play, you'll take on the roles of historical figures like Colonel Ichiki and Chesty Puller, making tactical decisions that will determine the fate of the island. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, you'll need to strategize carefully to outmaneuver your opponent. The game's complexity may take some time to learn, but the reward is well worth it - a rich and immersive gaming experience that will leave you feeling like you're part of the battle.
