Description:

The war has been raging in Europe for years now, but in the Pacific
tensions are climbing. With the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941,
and the declaration of war made by the United States under rule of
Franklin D. Roosevelt have assured the American people into another war.
Although many units were sent to aid in Europe, the majority were sent to
combat the Imperial Empire of Japan in the Pacific. The United States,
Navy, Army, and Marine Corps took part on some of the bloodiest battles
even witnessed by human eyes, and in the end proved themselves worthy of
global recognition.

Beach Red is a role playing game taking place in�� the south pacific
during the early years of the war, mainly the campaign of Guadalcanal.
Players assume the body and mind of a United States Marine, fresh out of
the States and into this hot and steamy hellhole of false hopes and failed
assaults. Make friends, fight battles, write your girl, and hopefully
board the bird enroute back home. Beach Red takes you there, with the
brave souls who fought this monumental battles, in this monumental war!
