Thanks for feedback more moves following.
@patchogue, yes, I'm using this AAR to bench-test it. So screens may change slightly as I post.

Status: offline 		Continued air strikes and bombardment has given the 23rd an overrun of the position. With minimal losses.
Green Beach fell through massive bombardment. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd 25 regiment move toward Suribachi.
The entrenchment of the enemy is proving stubborn resistance. Both sides taking losses.
[later...]
25th moving south, will need significant off shore support to winkle out units on Suribachi
28th regiment to take on unit immediately to north.
4th armored batalion has pushed further north, and will so swing further inland.
24th regiment to follow 4th Arm. In support.
27th to engage enemy batallion, then swing north west to combine with the 26th to combine against Jap tank unit.

-supply
-naval battle.
...also, deliberately not flying recon, to simulate surprise factor of Jap positions.
all comments welcome.

Status: offline 		Nothing so clever GW.
All I did was select the troop transports and move them to a highlighted sea zone just off the beach.
(as I'm about to unload them).
All I do is mod graphics, I leave it to the hard core grogs to modify play balance.

Status: offline 		Some big concerns.
I now have -1 PP, following turn it went to -2!
How do I generate PP?
I also seem to have used up my task force bombardments.
Air strikes are also becoming rare.
- do they regenerate?
- do I need to disband units to get some PP back for front line troops?




27th & 28th Marine getting ready to push towards Airfield 3.
Progress is maddeningly slow. Despite the unit numbers, the Japs have really good entrenchment bonuses, and when they strike, are furious in the attack.
It is no walkover.
This game is cool.
