Panzer Grenadier: Alaska's War

In June 1942, Japanese troops landed in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska,
the only large-scale foreign invasion of American soil since 1815.
In May 1943 the Americans invaded Attu Island, sending 15,000 troops
against about 2,500 Japanese defenders. The Japanese fought with
suicidal determination: 28 fell into American hands as prisoners
with the remainder killed in action.
Two months later the Americans launched an even larger invasion
of nearby Kiska Island, only to find that the Japanese had evacuated
three weeks before and the Americans captured an uninhabited island.
Alsaka's War is a supplement based on the Japan's lone
invasion of the Western Hemisphere and the American response.
There are ten scenarios, or separate game situations, based on
battles that took place in the Aleutian Islands. This module is
not playable by itself, but requires ownership of our Battle
of the Bulge, Guadalcanal,
Afrika
Korps and Desert
Rats games. Each scenario has its own card in a spiral-bound
booklet, just like the popular North
Wind and Edelweiss.
