GSI Pacific Islands Campaign – Guam

Now available for preorder from Grognard Simulations, Inc.:

Pacific Islands Campaign – Guam is an operational/tactical level simulation of the US Marines and Army retaking of the island of Guam. The game addresses many of the seven Battlefield Operating Systems.

The simulation features a 24″x36″ map and ~600 counters representing the US Marines, US Navy, USAAF, US Army, and Imperial Japanese Army.

The game is a blend of operational/tactical level combat and maneuver during the retaking of the island of Guam from the Japanese during the Second World War. The game is played in turns, each one divided into phases for amphibious landing, maneuver, and combat. The game system uses many of the seven Battlefield Operating Systems (BOS) to simulate actual combat and maneuver that both the US and Japanese players must use to fight the battle. Of the seven BOS’s, this simulation concentrates on Maneuver, Fire Support, Mobility and Survivability, Air Defense, and Command and Control. The Japanese defenses are sophisticated and well manned with fanatical soldiers willing to die for their emperor. The fight is bloody and sharp. Victory in the game is measured against the time and casualties it took the US forces to actually accomplish the same mission.

The game features US Marine Corps, US Army, US Navy, and Imperial Japanese forces at the Battalion, Company, and Platoon level. Units are initially setup as Battalions and Companies, and can be broken down into their respective elements. The combat system utilizes a set of combat multipliers that players must use correctly to have the best effect. The Japanese player has the ability to conduct Banzai attacks at night and these cause considerable damage as the US player cannot fall back in front of these attacks and must take casualties.

Grognard Simulations is also looking for playtesters in the Dallas, TX area.
