📖 About This Game
Defending the Malay Barrier, The ABDA Campaign is a historical naval campaign of the first months of World War II in the Pacific, specifically in the area of the Southern Philippines and Netherlands East Indies (NEI).
It is based on the General Quarters Third Edition (GQ 3.3) Decisions at Sea campaign system introduced in Old Dominion Game Work's (ODGW's) The Solomons Campaign (TSC) and Sudden Storm, The Japanese American Naval War of 1937.
While designed for GQ 3.3, it can be used with any World War II naval miniatures rules.
In cases where direct references to GQ 3.3 are made, players using other rules will need to "translate" those references to the other rule system being employed.
