Overview:

After many abortive attempts to push the Japanese back from the west bank of the Matanikau, a large-scale effort was launched. Well south of the river's mouth, three groups would cross and push northwards toward Point Cruz, trapping the Japanese between them and the river. The eastern-most prong was made by the Whaling Group, led by the Marine's patrolling guru, Lt. Col. Whaling, and his hand-picked detachment of Scout-Snipers. The enemy put out a screen to help the balance of their forces evacuate.

Defender: Japanese (Matanikau Garrison)
