The Battle of Tanga 1914

Invasion of German East Africa

by Dennis L. Bishop

Often referred to as 'The Battle of the Bees', the Battle of Tanga, an amphibious attack launched by British and Indian forces, established the burgeoning reputation of Colonel (later General) Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck by the manner in which he successfully beat off the British-led attempt to capture German East Africa.

A costly defeat, the attack at Tanga had cost the British 847 casualties (including 360 fatalities). In turn the Germans had suffered 67 deaths (from a total of 148 casualties), but Lettow-Vorbeck gained much booty from the supplies left behind by the British in their hasty retreat, including machine guns, rifles and 600,000 rounds of ammunition.

Saipan/Tinian, 1944

Island War Series - Volume I

by Michael Taylor

The game covers two individual battles and is a simulation of the American invasion and capture of the islands of Saipan and Tinian in the summer of 1944. Admiral Nimitz's Operation Granite II, the seizure of the Marianas islands, was divided into two parts, the Northern Troops Landing Force (NTLF) and the Southern Troops Landing Force (STLF). Saipan and Tinian were the objectives for the NTLF, with Saipan being the immediate objective and Tinian the second.

The Island War Series game system is a simulation of ground combat in the Pacific during World War II. Each game in the system represents a battle between Allied and Imperial Japanese forces on one of the many Pacific Islands. Each game comes with a set of Standard Rules common to all the games in the Pacific Island Series as well as a set of Exclusive Rules for each game in the system.

The series will also include Guam - Vol. II
