IWO JIMA 80th Anniversary

TEAMWORK is KEY in the FINAL ASSAULT & “Phase 3 of our “IWO TRILOGY” Paying Honor, Respect & Tribute to the US Marine Corps’ costliest battle & “the fiercest - bloodiest fighting of the Pacific War.” The most challenging scenario. Despite air/naval supremacy & capture of Suribachi; the Japanese still hold 2/3 of IWO defenses & 75% of forces intact. Is the worst yet to come? An attack vs bunkers & 11 miles of tunnels. Join us as we start each session with a Commemoration & end with Taps.

Three USMC Divisions invaded with over 80k marines, supported by complete air & naval supremacy provided by USN ships & aircraft. Approximately 20k Japanese with hidden artillery defended fortified bunkers & 11 miles of tunnels. (Only 1% survived).

Engage in a fast playing Operational Level Wargame of this desperate struggle where “ANYTHING Could happen.” Start each session with a Commemoration & ending with a Memorial.
