The Guadalcanal Campaign, also known as the Battle of Guadalcanal, was fought between August 7, 1942, and February 9, 1943, in the Pacific theater of World War II. Fought on the ground, at sea, and in the air, this was a strategically significant, and decisive, campaign which pitted Allied forces against Imperial Japanese forces. The fighting took place on and around the island of Guadalcanal, in the southern Solomon Islands, and was the first major offensive launched by Allied forces against the Empire of Japan.
The Guadalcanal campaign marked the first significant strategic combined arms victory by Allied forces over the Japanese in the Pacific theater. For this reason, the Guadalcanal campaign is often referred to as a "turning point" in the war. The campaign marked the beginning of the transition by the Allies from defensive operations to the strategic offensive while Japan was thereafter forced to cease strategic offensive operations and instead concentrate of strategic defense. Building on their success at Guadalcanal and elsewhere, the Allies continued their campaign against Japan, ultimately culminating in Japan's defeat and the end of World War II. (Stock Scenario)

My opponent adopted a different attitude to how the Japanese conducted themselves.
My opponent used his IJN assets to massacre my USN units supporting my landing.
He then landed units to support his land offensive via the Tokyo Express, but couldnt supply them in full.
The battle itself turned into a reenactment of WW1 and was quite frankly boring - we then decided it to stop and post it as a draw.
