Gavutu, Tanambogo and Gaomi are tiny islands off the coast of Tulagi. Between Gavutu and Tanambogo was 300 yard causeway constructed out of concrete and coral. These islands were to be taken in a small part of the main operation against Tulagi. Faulty intelligence had estimated that there were only a \"few dozen\" construction troops and snipers on these islands. The reality was more like 350 troops including SNLF dug into fortifications and caves. The defenders held out for 31 hours of bitter fighting against an amphibious invasion by the US Marines including suicide charges across a cricket field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScenarios:\u003cbr\u003eA61 Across the Wire\u003cbr\u003eA62 Paole Zion\u003cbr\u003eA63 Action at Balberkamp\u003cbr\u003eA64 Chateau de Quesnoy\u003cbr\u003eA65 The Dinant Bridgehead\u003cbr\u003eA66 Counterstroke at Stonne\u003cbr\u003eA67 Monte Castello\u003cbr\u003eDA12 Tussle at Thomashof\u003cbr\u003eHA3 Grabbing Gavutu\u003cbr\u003eHA4 Tanambogo Nightmare\u003cbr\u003eHA5 Take Two\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis copy is in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVery Good \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003econdition.
