Scenario 5 Bougainville – Avery Abernethy
In the Bougainville scenario you have to land, advance, build two airfields and then survive the Japanese Counter-Attacks. Your Marines must be aggressive to take the ground and build both landing strips within 20 turns. A large surface fleet naval battle must be won to protect your Marine supply ships.
