Battle of Guadalcanal is a turn based strategy game set on and around the island of Guadalcanal in the Pacific theater during the Second World War. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011
You are in command of the first major American amphibious offensive in the Second World War, aimed at seizing the island of Guadalcanal, on which the Japanese are building an airfield. You must use your naval forces to secure the constant flow of reinforcements and supplies to troops on Guadalcanal while trying to prevent the Japanese from doing the same.
The movement of naval units is limited by their fuel, so these warships must either be refueled by fuel tankers or reach the harbors, located on the eastern edge of the map, to get refueled and refitted.
Please note that the game factors in the initial shock defeat of the US Navy to guide the flow of the game-play more towards how things evolved historically.
Several Japanese leaders, including Naoki Hoshino, Nagano, and Torashiro Kawabe, stated shortly after the second world war that Guadalcanal was the decisive turning point in the conflict. Kawabe: "As for the turning point of the war, when the positive action ceased or even became negative, it was, I feel, at Guadalcanal."
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.
+ Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of hourses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.

Location, personal, or device identifier data is not used in any way. In the case of crash the following non-personal data is sent (vie web-form using ACRA library) to allow quick fix: Stack trace (code which failed), Name of the App, Version number of the App, and Version number of the Android OS. The app only requests the permissions it needs.
Joni Nuutinen has made highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still updated. The campaigns are based on the tried and true gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much faster rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have massive number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Thanks for understanding!
