[Consim-l] Op Shoestring/Henderson Field

[Markus Stumptner]

Pat,

I can't find my rules copy of Op Shoestring right now (which is a problem 
of having the time to dig), but I went back to my sources, and the units 
that should start on Guadalcanal would be

- the two construction battalions (11, 13) as you surmised,
- plus the 5Yokosuka SNLF battalion.

(Not that the latter will make a big difference; historically it didn't 
put up much resistance either.)
