Guadalcanal

I'm currently reading James Jones' The Thin Read Line and wonder if there is a Guadalcanal scenario around that is playable vs PO? The one that comes with the game is PBEM only.

Thanks Silvanski, I will have a look at the scenario. I really like the movie you mention and that's why I'm reading the book now. I just found out that it was filmed back in 1964. Has anyone seen that one and how would it compare to the modern one?
