NUTS! War Against Japan AAR -- Test At Tulagi
« on: 01 January 2012, 11:19:23 PM »
The following AAR was gamed using the NUTS! War Against Japan supplement. War Against Japan is often gamed cooperatively, with players on the same side and the Japanese running off of essentially a chart-driven AI. I hope you enjoy!











Play the game, not the players!

Looks like that TAG Japanese I traded with you came in handy.  Whats with that blue camo those Jarheads are toting ;)

Great stuff as always,
Brian

Love the AAR.
Sounds like the game was a close run thing for the USMC.
Like the format you use to tell the story.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your action report and photos. Just the ticket for this period in the South-West Pacific.

For a more complete story on the battle if you haven't read the book before is 'Hell's Island' The Untold story of Guadalcanal by Stanley Coleman Jersey. The account is quite detailed as oppose to 'Guadalcanal' by Richard B. Frank.

Cheers,

Helen
Best wishes,

Thanks, I'll look for that book. I'm lucky that my local library had a copy of the history of the First Raider Btn., it's a great resource:
