Package Info:

Saipan was a critical objective in the US Navy's "island-hopping" campaign in the Pacific; its two airfields were suitable for heavy bombers. Hence three US divisions were scheduled to invade Saipan on 15 June 1944, supported by nearly two-dozen battleships that had begun a bombardment two days before. More than 30,000 fanatic Japanese were entrenched on the island, dug into caves and other formidable defensive positions. The battle for Saipan proved to be one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific War and the deadliest up to that time for both sides. Saipan utilizes the new Fire & Movement combat system that's designed so players can augment their units with "support fire" during the course of the turn.

Product is for use in the Decision Games tabletop game Folio Games Series: Saipan.
