Island Invasion: Amphibious Assault Game
About this game
Island Invasion is a simple game about the American invasion of Guam in World War II (the rules do not give the name of the island, but it is clearly Guam from the map, not to mention the publisher had an office there). The American player starts with 6 landing craft approaching the island, and must land them in the face of artillery and pillbox fire from the Japanese. Once the Americans have landed, the soldiers can capture each other. Contents: 14 plastic American soldiers 14 plastic Japanese soldiers 6 landing craft counters 2 dice 1 board 1 set of English rules 1 set of Japanese rules
