7th August 1942, the Americans landed on Guadalcanal. After the battle, construction of an airfield started which would be named as "Henderson Field". The Japanese, under command of Major General Kiyotake Kawaguchi, went to the airfield and try to capture that land back! Under comand of U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Merritt A. Edson, troops from several units will defend the airfield on the Lunga. Known as Edson's Ridge, the Americans can only defeat the Japanese with infantry weapons and some artillery. Without any resupply, the Americans will have it hard when the Japanese attack the ridge via two flanks, using their courage and being under the cover of darkness to win this battle! This map is an infantry vs infantry night map. No vehicles are available and only three American fieldguns defend the south flank!
