ACTION FRONT! Watchtower is the first in a projected series of DTP microgames covering tactical combat in WWII. The game's expandable system is reminiscent of the venerable Panzerblitz/Panzer Leader games, with a feeling of the Five-Star series thrown in. Each game is played on 4 x 8 inch semi-geomorphic maps, with a fast, furious sequence of play that minimizes bookkeeping and maximizes the action. Players may play the included scenarios or create their own using the provided rules.

Watchtower comes with 20 US and 20 Japanese units, allowing players to recreate the epic struggle of the 1st US Marine Division on Guadalcanal in September and October of 1942. USMC Raiders and Paramarines square off against Chi-Ha tanks and leg mortars. Special rules are included for Henderson Field and banzai attacks.

In a small series with the Action Front! Hakko Ichiu.
