Welcome to a new series where we take command of the Imperial Japanese Navy in order to proceed with the Battle of Guadalcanal, to take control of various islands, and build a rank 5 airfield on Guadalcanal.
ABOUT THIS GAME
1942: The world is at war
The Japanese Empire expands throughout the Pacific where Allied forces attempt to halt its spread. A desperate struggle for control of the Solomon Islands is now underway.
How will you protect your transports as they deliver troops and supplies in the South Pacific? Will you deploy precious aircraft carriers to provide air cover? Do you screen the area with submarines? Or attempt to lure the enemy navy into a decisive surface engagement?

Merry lunchtime, Taff.
There’s no such thing as “too many torpedoes” when it comes to battleships! 😉
I think you need a little help, on how to be effective on the map, and a lot of small hints..🙂
Iv'e beat the ijn on day 45..
Iam on my 7th playtrough..😀
I have seen a few people play thus game and enemy navy always losses large # of ships compared to the player.
When getting new ships I think I noticed that you didn't put any troops or cargo on them. Would be a good opportunity to do that.
I feel like you need to use your bombers sparingly, ie concentrating them for a big attack instead of sending them a few flights at a time.
With this much aircraft losses Japan might run out of experienced pilots before 1943 haha😅
I think the aircraft raids are my favorite part of this game
Very nice raids , but maby some more U-boats hade been good in your navy 👍🏻
I say it again you e…. need to learn to cross drop torps…
Get a Battleship. The heavier the better. For shore bombardment, amongst other things. Why are your CVs in The Slot? Good sub actions and kudos for attacking cargo ships.
Hi i have not got this game yet wanted to check your game play first found very helpfull and fun to watch / do ships fire all guns even if its half sunk / thank you for great vids cheers
Love your Videos
Great episode
<3
Really nice work on that BB task force! There is an algorithm for the game to decide that a task force needs to retreat. I'm unclear on the specifics, but sinking two of the capital ships and damaging some of the others was apparently enough. That task force retreated without carrying out their bombardment or troop landing mission.
Remember that any large group of destroyers and/or light cruisers should be seen as a troop transport task force, and attacked accordingly. This can be frustrating because destroyers are tricky to sink, especially on the IJN side with no rockets. Still, better to sink those ships than to allow them to deliver their troops. This is one job that may be better suited to a surface fleet than aircraft.
When you saw those search planes appearing to the south of Guadalcanal, think about what, on the USN side, is capable of launching such planes? There is probably a cruiser task force operating somewhere south of Guadalcanal. With that many planes, it may be another battleship group.
Just an idea when you were doing bombing run at 26:44 to help keep AA down could you break the planes off to the side instead of having them go along the ship column?
Go for a couple kamikaze runs.
Your subs have been holding the line during the night. Attrition, however, is taking a toll. Might want to bring them back up to strength
Yea, in first two weeks, I sunk the Yamato, and within THREE weeks, I saw the Musashi!!! Problem was, when I torped her from a sub, I did a 2 or 3 percent spread, and hit the stem to stern, and two more on the opposite side, and she didn't sink! Grrrrrr Well done, can't wait to try the IJN Campaign!
Awesome vid as always. Loving the series!. Definitely think the subs and aircraft are doing awesome job. I know you said probably not going to use, but wouldn't even a small fleet of some Kongo BBs with a cruiser or two be worth it, especially if attacking aircraft get low?
28:58 – 29:09 A plane is shot down on its attack run kamikazed the front of the ship. Great camera work. 🎬
Zeros would be a nice caompany to the bombers. Not only provide aircover during the strike, also there is a possibility to use fighters as a distraction for AAA
Long lance is extremely powerful torpedo. Just 3 each and they will sink…. 😂
Hey taff are you still gonna do your story with u 96😊
Just got the game what mod is best?
Awesome bit of destruction Taff, loved it thanks 🙏
All seems a bit too easy 🤷🏻
