A new scenario covering the invasion of Tarawa in 1943 is now available here:

Spwaw Depot

The scenario is really more of a micro-campaign since 3 days of fighting are represented in this 41 turn battle. The map is x2 scale which was necessary to portray the battle effectively and it seems to have worked wonderfully.

Loved your map, Orzel. It is a masterpiece, but I've come to expect that from you.

The battle for Betio Island in the Tarawa Atoll was a turning point in amphibious warfare for the Allied struggle in the Pacific.

Before I download it and play it, I must ask...is it winnable. You know me, Orzel, I will not play a scenario I cannot win. I'm sure you remember my dogged nagging on all the MCSE team about that point.

Tell me that and I just might give this one an old Wild Bill try.

Kunel,

I learned the trade from you my friend...so it is winnable. Extremely heavy losses will lead to a draw....moderate a MV...and if you manage to take the island with small losses you will get the DV.

Please let me know what you think.

Well done! I enjoyed this but I might be a little, ah, well, let's say my view is tainted (Semper Fi).

Thanks Bruce!

I only wish the game had more unit slots available so that I could have made it even more historically accurate...but in the end I kind of had to keep playing with force mixes until I got something that made me happy with the results.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
