The 1942 Guadalcanal Campaign replaces the
1943 Campaign with a Battle of Brittain type
campaign starting in August of 1942, at the
start of Operation Watchtower and the 1st Marine
Division lands on Guadalcanal, Tulagi and other
small islands. The marines capture the Lunga
Point airfield (later renamed to Henderson Field)
that the Japanese were constructing on Guadalcanal.
The aim of this campaign is to simulate the air and
air to ground/sea war in the Solomon Islands between
American and Japanese naval air forces. There were
also a few USAAF squadrons forces participating in
the campaign.

The Guadalcanal Campaign is a modified 1940 campaign,
with different aircraft and upgrades. It starts in
August 1942 and ends in February 1943, when the Japanese
evacuate their remaining ground troops from Guadalcanal
("Tokyo Express no longer has terminus on Guadalcanal").
In a normal campaign you fly a mission every 4 days, if
you choose a long campaign be prepared to fly a mission
every 2 days for a total of 90 sorties.
