World at War 101: The Solomons Campaign 1942-43

Solomons Campaign, 1942–43, is a solitaire, operational-level war game of the struggle for control of the Solomon Islands during World War II. Victory is attained by accomplishing campaign milestones ahead of what was done historically, thereby opening the way for an earlier isolation of the Japanese base at Rabaul. The player commands the US forces, and moves and engages the Japanese forces according to the game system.

The player moves and engages with the Japanese forces according to instructions provided by the rules. The map uses an area grid map system; ground units represent divisions, regiments or battalions. Aircraft units represent air groups or wings (two to eight squadrons) and are identified by the primary type of aircraft in those units. Naval units represent individual fleet aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and divisions of two light or escort carriers and squadrons of destroyers with various numbers of other ship types.
