About This Content

Take command in the decisive battles of the Guadalcanal campaign with the Guadalcanal Mission Pack for Battle Fleet 2. Engage in 7 pivotal naval encounters of 1942, where Allied and Japanese forces battle fiercely for control of Guadalcanal and the surrounding Solomon Islands. Command your fleet in historically authentic scenarios that will push your strategic skills to the limit.

Historical Missions:

• Battle of Savo Island (Japanese Side): Lead a night raid with a squadron of Japanese heavy cruisers against an Allied fleet off Guadalcanal. Exploit the element of surprise under cover of darkness to overwhelm the unsuspecting Allied cruisers guarding the invasion anchorage. Strike hard and slip away before the enemy can regroup, dealing a blow that will echo across the Pacific.

• Battle of Cape Esperance (Allied Side): Assume command of a U.S. task force in the Allies’ first night-fighting victory of the Pacific war. Ambush a Japanese flotilla intent on reinforcing Guadalcanal. Outmaneuver and outgun the enemy in the darkness, halting their advance and proving that the U.S. Navy can fight back after the setback at Savo.

• Battle of the Eastern Solomons (U.S. Side): North of Guadalcanal, USS Enterprise and USS Saratoga hunt a Japanese carrier force moving to cover enemy reinforcements. Launch recons and fix the enemy’s position. Maintain CAP over your own decks, screen the carriers, and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese flattops to keep Guadalcanal supplied and in the fight.

• Sinking of the USS Wasp (Japanese Side): Stalk an Allied task force escorting reinforcements to Guadalcanal. Shadow the formation, pick your firing lane, and unleash a torpedo spread at a high-value target—then disappear into the depths before the escorts close in. 

• First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (Both Sides): Experience the chaos of one of history’s most ferocious close-quarters naval battles from two perspectives. As the Allies, face a daunting Japanese bombardment force – including powerful battleships – in a desperate fight to protect Henderson Field. Or switch roles and lead the Japanese attack, using superior firepower to smash through the American fleet and clear the way for a decisive shore bombardment. Each side offers a unique challenge in this climactic nighttime showdown.

• Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (Allied Side): Take the helm of a formidable American battleship task force to stop Japan’s final attempt at shelling Guadalcanal. In this nocturnal duel of heavyweights, use your battleships’ firepower and radar advantage to ambush and neutralize a Japanese battleship and its escorts. Decimate the enemy’s big guns and ensure Henderson Field remains secure, cementing a critical Allied victory in the Solomon Islands.

New Features:

• Submarine Torpedo Spreads: Submarines can now fire a spread of torpedoes in a single salvo! Unleash multiple torpedoes at once for a chance to deliver a devastating blow to large targets – but be prepared to wait extra turns as your sub reloads. This new ability introduces a high-risk, high-reward tactical decision for submarine commanders.
