Guadalcanal Diary Part 1 - The Cunning Plan

2022 is the 80th anniversary of the Guadalcanal campaign, one of the pivotal moments in WW2 in the Far East. Over on the Blood Red Skies Ready Room, stalwart Gísli Jökull Gíslason mentioned he was thinking of running this as a campaign where players could report their game results and this would be collated into a coherent campaign narrative. Brave man!

I'm up for this. It ties in nicely with the Midway releases and based on his previous Battle of Britain campaign should be fun.

So I've decided to do the Japanese. Here is the plan. 

I intend to run a Zero Squadron and a bomber unit of G4M Bettys initially. To be a bit different I'll be using the less common A6M3 Zero rather than the classic A6M2s. 

So that's it - two Squadrons worth to prep - six fighters and three bombers - should be easy enough ???

Watch this space........
