Bloody Ridge is a small, low counter density addition to the award winning Tactical Combat Series (TCS) by The Gamers and designed by noted Guadalcanal historian Michael S. Smith.

The Japanese are attempting to recapture Henderson Field, the airstrip they abandoned when the Marines first landed on 7 August. The Marines are trying to hold the perimeter south of Henderson Field to prevent the Japanese from recapturing the airstrip.
