Overview:

The invasion of Tulagi was one of the several small preliminary invasions planned to secure the flanks of the Guadalcanal attack. The units selected for the invasion of Tulagi were the highly trained 1st Raider Battalion and the 2nd Battalion, Fifth Marines. The landings at Blue Beach were unopposed, and according to plan the 2nd Battalion Marines moved northwest while the Raiders moved east to secure the island. Almost immediately, the Raiders encountered resistance, but managed to make slow, steady progress throughout the day until they dug in for the night. During the night, the Japanese launched four separate attacks against the Raider's positions, but each attack was repelled. At dawn on the 8th, under the protective cover of 60mm and 81mm mortar barrages, the Raiders advanced on Hill 280.

2025-09-12(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Japanese win2 hrs
2025-09-12(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Japanese win2 hrsVery tough scenario on the Americans. Japanese were able to stagger the Marine assaults at the cave mouths and prevented any incursion into the caves themselves. Japanese emerged at key moments to engage in Hand to Hand, which also kept the Marine assault off balance. Americans called in on Turn 7 as there was no path to victory.
