Company H of Edson's Raiders*
descends into the Matanikau*
River valley on Guadalcanal*
in an attempt to reach and*
cross the river.*
*
The Third Battle of the*
Matanikau River has begun.*
The 1st Marine Raiders are*
ordered to cross the river*
and attack the Japanese forces*
on the other side -- but first*
they have to get to the river.*
*
Captain Charles Rigaud's company*
descended into the teeth of the*
Japanese forward positions. They*
were forced to retreat back to the*
safety of the east ridge. Can you*
do better?  Can you reach the river?*
*
Don't let the 40 turns scare you*
away. One company on each side*
makes for very quick turns. Heavy*
jungle makes for slow movement.*
