Scenario 3 – Operation Cartwheel, Attack on New Georgia
New Georgia is a large island. My main objectives are taking various points on New Georgia. My secondary objectives are completing the scenario quickly, sinking six or more Japanese Ships, doing 20+ damage with aircraft and neutralizing an airfield on a different island.

My primary objective is protecting the Henderson Field airstrip. The four secondary objectives are: raid Tenaru; raid Matanikau; destroy 5 Japanese aircraft and protect both construction groups.
Last time, I was breaking out from my perimeter and taking the fight to the Japanese, until the air battle ramped up

Last episode, I had counter-attacked in the North along the coast with a coordinated attack towards the center of the Island after taking Tenaru. The Japanese received even more reinforcements. One Japanese column almost got to Henderson Field.

My primary objective is protecting the Henderson Field airstrip. The four secondary objectives are: raid Tenaru; raid Matanikau; destroy 5 Japanese aircraft and protect both construction groups. The construction groups are one bulldozer unit close to Henderson Field and one Seabees unit in the North coastal area. Both are weak and immobile.
There is a lot of ground to defend and holding the airfield is critical. Initially I have only one fighter unit. I attached truck or half-tracks to most of the Marine infantry. My initial forces had one Lee tank.
