First Blood War Game

The First Blood page contains a free board wargame, originally published commercially.If you are new to the world of board wargames I hope you will enjoy trying out FIRST BLOOD: THE GUADALCANAL CAMPAIGN. This wargame is fairly simple with a small number of units and is considered an introductory level game, suitable for beginners. Simply print out all the different materials, assemble the map and cut out the counters (the units). The best way to do this is to print them out on sticky back or label paper if you have any available and then attach it to a piece of heavy cardstock such as you might find inserted as a protection for photo paper. Then VERY carefully use an exacto knife to SLOWLY cut the inidividual unit counters apart- be sure to practice on a nonprinted area first. Then set all the counters on their corresponding places on the Set Up Chart and you're ready to go. Expect to miss a few things or make some mistakes in your first game or two- everybody does. Even us old GROGNARDS who have been playing for years do it when we play a new game we've bought.
