[Guadalcanal] [AXIS/ALLIED] [HISB] [GD]

Guadalcanal; Lunga Field:

After the failure of the Japanese offensive in September, the Japanese High Command sent the 2nd Infantry Division to drive the US Marines off of the island.

After landing on Guadalcanal in early October, the division marched through thick jungle to get into their attack positions for an assault against the Marine airfields, postponing the attack twice due to delays caused by the adverse jungle terrain slowing down their march.

Finally on the 25th of October the Japanese were ready and for the next two nights assaulted the Marine southern perimeter with the goal of capturing both Henderson and Lunga airfields. This scenario depicts the left wing attack on the first night.
