Bloody Ridge
Turning Point on Guadalcanal, September 1942
Bloody Ridge is a simulation of the attempt by Japanese forces to retake the airfield at Lunga Roads, Guadalcanal, after the unopposed occupation of that field by U.S. Marines. The Marines were dependent upon control of the air, afforded by the airfield, for continued supply and reinforcement. The Japanese, who controlled the seas surrounding Guadalcanal, could have isolated and prevented the evacuation of the Marines had the airfield fallen into their hands.
