[i]Mother,
Hopefully this letter gets to you. My unit, the 1st Battalion 1st Marines, along with many other units are stepping off to an unknown location. I am worried this will be my first combat and I am afraid. I guess we all are, some just pretend they aren't. Well I hope life at home is okay,
Your Son, Adam Thompson[/i]

7,000 marines step off to attack the islands of Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo. While 11,000 marines prepare to land in Guadalcanal.

These men are a part of the First Marine Division, many will die, but they will secure the islands.
In the air, carrier based F6F Hellcats, and F4F Wildcats fight with Japanese A6M Zeros, machine pitted against machine. Large formations of SBD dauntless dive bombers relentlessly bomb the islands, and from the sea the same ships that transported the marines here are shelling the shoreline. 
These men might be in different positions but they all share the same goal, make the Japs pay. Remember Pearl Harbor....

Once you die you can remake a character and come back as a replacement. 
Use logic please, you're not Rambo. 
I (the GM) will be playing as other men, and the enemy.
If this goes ok. And the playerbase is still interested, we can do more campaigns.
