Scenario: Iwo Jima

[RT-Baseman]

The mother of all WW2 amphibious landings!

This scenario represents the landing of the 4th and 5th Marine Division on Iwo Jima (Operation "Detachment") on February 19, 1945 and is the first in a row (like my Peleliu scenarios).

A big one again (499 units)!

Scenario #526

New version 0.96

Changes from version 0.95 to 0.96:

1. Changed the Japanese bombardment phase
2. Removed the LVT-4 Flame. Found no information about the use at Iwo Jima. Instead added eight Flamethrower teams
3. Add 1 point side armour to the LVT-2 (field modification: 1/4" plate in the cargo compartment)
4. Some corrections in the scenario text
5. Changed some troops: Names, ammo, armour and icons
6. Relocation of some troops
7. Some changes of the map (make it more dirty and rocky)

And two question to the lonely's outside:

1) I've found no information about the operations of the CV-17 Bunker Hill in the Iwo Jima assault (Feb., 19th). I know she was there, but maybe only CAP and ASW missions?
2) Is the scenario text ok? I'm NOT a native english speaker.

Enjoy!

Seems to be very hard to be "win without big losses" but I can try to play this (if I have time)...

Hmm I noticed that 5inch DD gun has mg sound... Mobhack had sound marked as "0" but there's still mg sound. How I can change it? Any help?

Hello Warhero!

Thanks for your reply!

I've corrected the sound (change unit class from "Torpedo boat" to "LCG"). Now the 5in DD-guns have the right one.

Well can you give unit number which uses 5inch DD gun? I found unit 225 Destroyer NGFS but it has class 155 Off Map Heavy Artillery... Is 5inch Naval gun (unit 056) different than DD gun?

Hello Warhero,

Try no. 201

Eh if you mean unit 201=M4 Early (tank)unused in Mobhack.

And if you mean weapon 201=weapon class 10 (Naval Artillery). There's no any LCG in picklist:O... Where it is?

just FYI.......you write

The human player should take the US Marines side. Not designed for play with the Japanese as AI.*

If the human player is the USMC then the AI is playing the Japanese side.....what that should say is.......

"The human player should take the US Marines side. The scenario was not designed to be played from the Japanese side"
