"High-Water
Mark" of 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.

Real-time,
multi-player simulation |
|
|
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. |

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. |
 | Both the main program and scenario
editor can read in
a situation chart in Windows BMP format and display that chart
on the screen
overlaid with the position of the ships in the battle.
This allows new scenarios
to be created from historical situation charts and
allows players to compare the
outcome of their battles with the historical result. |

on-line printable documentation in Microsoft Word format. |
 | Supports
single person play against the computer, and multiplayer network play
over LANs and the Internet. |
