"Treehouse 2, this is Tulagi calling. The hospital here is under heavy attack. Wounded are in danger - repeat, wounded are in imminent danger. This is Captain Perryman. The radioman is dead. Please send help - over!"

The small hospital on Tulagi island offered some small comfort to the more seriously wounded Marines in their fight for the island of Guadalcanal. Cut off from the world by superior Japanese naval forces, the Marines had to make do with what they had where they were.

Captain Norman Perryman did all he could for these battered bodies to make them as comfortable as he could. At least, they were away from that dreaded island. The heat and the incessant insects followed them, but for a moment they were out of the fighting...or were they?

You can find out by downloading the latest quickie scenario going up on the Game Depot section of the SPWAW site (where you are now, just go to the main page and click on Game Depot).

What can you do for these wounded men? It looks pretty bad. Captain Perryman could use a little help

Sorry Captain Perryman, Unable to help.
Japanese have broken through. All tanks and lt. arty lost. Our forces will henceforth maneuver in flying columns and guerrilla bands. Victory will come! Free Philippines!

I think playing this scenario as US is very easy . I like these short battle with only a few units and I playing battle with irregular units is always great fun !! So from this the scenario is pretty good but the US medical staff is much too expirienced and the wounded troops should be slowed down !! Also the leader of the staff formation is very good at infantry combat will he should know how to geed the man together again and that wounded are as fast as the other seems somewhat unrealistic .

Good points, Talon. Opinion received. We may revise it just a bit..WB
