08. BOUGAINVILLE 2, 11/18/1943

Before the landings were complete many transports were ordered to depart the area (due to a threat of Japanese naval forces). Later, in a major sea battle (The Battle of Empress Augusta Bay) a Japanese task force was routed, and further landings of Japanese troops were thwarted. You have been ordered to guard and expand the Cape Torokina perimeter, but only until you are replaced by the Army's 37th Division. There has been a build up of Japanese forces to the north and east of the perimeter, particularly on the high ground to the north, so you should prepare for an attack. You will have limited support, since a lot of resources have been allocated to an air offensive against Rabaul and an amphibious assault on Tarawa (which is scheduled for 2 days time).

NOTE: 
The airfield is still not ready, so you have to refuel and resupply at an airfield off the island.

NOTE: 
A loss in this scenario requires you to play it again.
