The greatest mistake of this battle was trying to push Americans back into the sea at the very beginning of invasion.
You might not see this, but most of the single US units were twice stronger than mine, so as soon as I realized there is no chance to fight them back in offensive I started to withdraw.

The battle was lost at that moment. I was no able to cut them from resources or entice any single unit.

So my last strategy was to build up units on Suribachi and hold as long as possible, hoping that AI won't start executing suicidal attacks. Of course as soon as USN will wipe out forces in the northern part of th Island I might be sure they will move south.

So the game has variable scale?
A 40 turn Iwo Jima with 30x34 map vs. a 339 turn Pacific Campaign with 365x201 map.

[gwgardner]

Yes, it does.

[Anraz]

Yes. Have a look at the first screen in this topic (one with the list of scenarios).

In smaller scenarios one turn usually takes one day, with larger maps the turn is one week long.

Also in every scenario you can set up different size of units, so in Pacific Campaign you have corpses and divisions and in other you can have battalions and regiments. (of course you can set it up to battalions and corpses if you wish).

I bump it and hopefully this thread will be moved to AAR section.

There sure were a lot of corpses (especially on the side I was playing) when I played a couple of turns of the Pacific Campaign...[:D]
