Best wishes to everyone for 2026!! :) 

I know Guadalcanal is waaayyy behind schedule :(

It is not under my control :( 

So if you want to (politely) tell me to FO, I totally get it. 

But...

For anyone who is interested, my latest game - Merville Battery - will go to KS on January 6, 2026. 

This is NOT a Valiant Defense game, but it utilizes common mechanics and, of course, the player is attacking - rather than defending - a fixed point. 

Art is from Wouter Schoutteten.

Guadalcanal is at the printer. The entire process takes months :)

A few people have asked for updates. We are still waiting to receive the next proofs. The process takes a while.

Physical Proofs Approved!!

Happy to report that the physical proofs have been approved :) 

The next step is for the print factory to make up a pre-production copy of the complete game for approval and, once approved, full-scale printing can begin :) 

The physical proofs were sent to me rolled up, but rather than wait until they flattened out, I thought you would all prefer a picture immediately, even if the quality is lower. 

Cheers,

Vince
