Guadalcanal Combat Reports

Post by Stwa »

I have posted this AAR, because it describes some of the craziest surface combat actions I have seen to date using this game. There are 8 days of reports, the game ran continuous without any HUMAN intervention, other than the intial orders for the Task forces. Japanese set for computer, and other settings at historical, etc...
