Bougainville - The Forgotten Campaign

The Pacific Battle History Almost Forgot

Bougainville was never meant to be conquered. It was meant to be a place to put an airfield so that Rabaul could be cut off and left to rot. Nobody told the Japanese garrison that.

Hold the beachhead, or push it back into the sea.

Infantry, machine gun teams, mortars, artillery support and armoured vehicles, at platoon and company level. The fighting runs through thick jungle, across rivers and over ground that was difficult before anybody started shooting on it.

You Cannot See Very Far

Jungle cuts visibility and slows movement, so you commit to a plan before you know what you are committing against. Position carefully and you get a warning. Position badly and the first sign is contact.

Both Sides of a Long Campaign

The scenarios take key moments from the campaign and let you fight them from either side, which is where you find out that the Allied problem and the Japanese problem were not the same problem at all.
