About

The Last Hundred Yards Vol. 3: The Solomon Islands is the third game in the Last Hundred Yards Series. This game focuses on the vicious and brutal Solomon Islands Campaign, including actions to control the islands of Guadalcanal, Bougainville, and New Georgia. When you play the Solomon Islands missions, you will experience some of the fiercest small unit actions in the Pacific Theater. The game will focus on actions involving the 1st (The Old Breed) and 3rd (Fighting Third) Marine Divisions, as well as the Army’s 25th Infantry Division. Take to the jungles of Guadalcanal with the 1st Marine Division as they begin the first ground offensive of the war. The Marines fought tooth and nail to secure their small foothold around Henderson Airfield. Engage in bitter jungle fighting with the 3rd Marine Division as they attempt to hold and expand the beachhead on Bougainville Island against the Imperial Japanese 6th Infantry Division. Finally, serve with the 25th Infantry Division’s famed 27th Regiment, the “Wolfhounds,” as they try to reduce Japanese positions on Guadalcanal’s Galloping Horse Ridge and in the jungle around Munda Point for the airfield on New Georgia. Each of these actions involved tense jungle warfare and the routing out of fanatical Japanese units from hidden bunkers and pillboxes. This volume introduces new weapons and terrain including flamethrowers, anti-tank halftracks, light and heavy jungle. Each mission will provide new challenges with different elements, forces, and situations encountered. This game is stand alone and does NOT require The Last Hundred Yards to be played. Hundred Yards Volume 3: Solomon Islands is the core volume and will be required to play all future Pacific Theater Modules or Mission Packs.
