What is Pacific Fury: Guadalcanal, 1942?

The game is area movement where task forces are defined by each player (hidden) and placed in boxes (1 to 7) in incremental order. Each task force is then deployed in according to the number in each box. The Americans start with control of Guadalcanal and it is up to the Japanese to wrest control.
