Bearcat2 -> 1st Marine Provisional Brigade, 6th Marine div (4/4/2010 10:15:05 PM) I was talking to my father in law about his unit in WW2, and how this game was accurate in depicting the units involved in Pacific war. My problem is I can't find the units he was in, 1st Provisional brigade[assault on Guam] and the 6th Marine division, Presdential Unit citation for Okinawa with over 9,000 casualties with his company suffered 80%. His indivual regiment is listed, 22nd Marine regt, but I couldn't find the higher HQ's; any help?
