Guam

Guam is a simulation of the American invasion and recapture of Guam in the summer of 1944. Overshadowed by events in Europe, the capture of the Marianas (Saipan, Tinian and Guam) was a major step toward the defeat of Imperial Japan. The capture of Guam denied the Japanese of a critical staging point for forces deploying to South and Central Pacific. It gave the Americans a forward submarine refueling base, a major naval base, and an airfield from which B-29s could initiate bombing missions against Japan.
