Deluxe Iwo Jima - Hill 362A

Hill 362 A, Iwo Jima, 3 March 1945 (D+12): Marine armored dozers were available across the battlefield, were in constant demand and were moved from one hot spot to another. Usually escorted by a full platoon to ensure its security from enemy sappers and tank hunter-killer teams, at one point a Corporal by the name of Daniels had to escort some dozers with a handful of battle-weary Marines. The Marine soldiers knew the duty drew an inordinate amount of enemy artillery fire, as well as Japanese tank-hunting teams. Daniels was detailed to escort a dozer team forward through a previously secured area when the Japanese attacked.

Swarmed by enemy soldiers carrying demolitions charges, Daniels had to call for help. After help arrived and the situation stabilized and Daniels recalled one Japanese soldier emerging from a cave carrying an artillery shell and a hammer. The enemy soldier had been given a heavy shell and he could not move very fast. Undeterred, the man stumbled over rocks and debris, picking up the shell multiple times after dropping it, and moving forward only to fall again. Daniels could hear his BAR man laugh at the macabre scene. Moments later the persistent Japanese soldier was cut down in a hail of Marine bullets

The era of GIANT HEX gaming is here - and is long overdue. Back in the day guys would spend big bucks to blow up a map here and there, usually proudly displayed. The result was an expensive, albeit unparalleled gaming experience that does more than just avoid most if not all stacking - it provides a sweeping, yet granular battlefield experience that makes things DELUXE ... and larger, but not just on small-area geo-boards, but instead unique historical battlefields.

You will need to own the ASLRB and modules providing Americans/USMC and Japanese.
