Panzer Grenadier:
Jungle Fighting
This
supplement for the Panzer Grenadier system introduces
the U.S. Army's role in fighting the Japanese. In Guadalcanal we covered the U.S. Marines’
tough fight against the Japanese for Henderson Field and the
nearby areas. Army troops came ashore on Guadalcanal in
mid-October 1942, at the height of the struggle for the island.
Jungle Fighting includes 42 scenarios from the Guadalcanal
campaign. Most of these feature Army troops, but there are
also several from the deep penetration carried out by Marine
Raider companies behind Japanese lines.
The back of the book is covered by a map of Butaritari Island,
also known as Makin Atoll. One of the scenarios covers the
August 1942 attack on the island by Marine Raider troops.
There’s also a lengthy background piece on the Guadalcanal
fighting, putting all of these scenarios and those from Guadalcanal in their proper context.
Jungle Fighting is not a complete game. Play of
all scenarios requires Guadalcanal and Battle
of the Bulge.
