Studio Historia has announced that their forthcoming range, Kings & Liberators US Army in the Pacific: From Guadalcanal to Manila 1942-1945, will be part of the upcoming Guadalcanal USMC Kickstarter as an add-on.
While the Marines are strongly tied to the actions in the Pacific, the US Army had a significant presence in the campaigns as well. At Guadalcanal they played key roles at the Battle of Henderson Field. the taking of Mount Austen, and finally securing the island under the newly formed XIV Corps. For their actions, the press would dub the XIV Corps the Kings of the Solomons. The corps would continue to play a key role in the Pacific culminating to the retaking the Philippines, where they would be nicknamed the Liberators of Manila.
