Everything is included to play!.Ī collection of 517 color, die-cut counters representing the USMC and Japanese combatants that fought in the battle The game depicts the confrontation at Motoyama Airfield #2, a war waged with the most vicious weapons available to the combatants, including flame-throwing ‘Zippo’ Shermans and Japanese heavy artillery. The Japanese defenders waiting for the advance of the V Amphibious Corps were well armed and confident. Kuribayshi was particularly pleased with the quality of his artillery and engineering troops. Worse, the dug-in defenders actually numbered half again the original estimate of 13,000. Steam could be seen rising from the natural sulfur water wells which bubbled to the surface all over the island. No dense jungles, just ash from the island’s volcano, Suribachi. As the Marines regrouped after their landing, it was obvious that something was different on Iwo Jima.

Senior intelligence officers did not know until 27 February that General Kuribayashi was in fact personally running the show from his headquarters on Iwo Jima. The landing force at Iwo still had much to learn about the enemy. Three years into the Pacific war the United States Marine Corps had mastered the art of the amphibious landing. ‘A’ Company rapidly deployed to meet this threat.ĪTS SEMPER FI! (aka Ucommon Valor Upgrade Edition) is the new COMPLETE GAME that depicts the battle for Iwo Jima. ‘A’ Company was stopped by a small enemy AA detachment with supporting fire from emplaced machine-guns in a small draw on their right flank. The 1st Battalion’s ‘A’ Company did not enjoy the same momentum on their way to Oboe. The 1st Battalion overran the hill and continued on down the reverse slope and up to the crest of ‘Hill Oboe’ to the northwest. With the 1st Battalion on the right and the 2nd on the left, the Marines began their move up the slopes of Hill Peter. Following a ten minute preparation by division and corps artillery, both battalions struck out in a coordinated attack. After reorganizing during the night, the 9th Marines were ready for another push to the top of the hill. They had made two determined assaults on ‘Hill Peter’, to no avail.
