About the game

Iwo Jima was a critical point on the flight path of US bombers from their Saipan bases to their Japanese targets. The island would be a refuge for malfunctioning or damaged bombers coming or going. An obvious target for a US amphibious assault, the Japanese had reinforced the garrison and dug miles of tunnels the length and breadth of the island. Their goal was to inflict maximum casualties on the Americans to force them to reconsider the seemingly inevitable invasion of Japan. The resulting battle was brutal, even by the standards of the Pacific War.

    I read the negative reviews but also noticed in the update history the game had been patched since the last one. I'm glad I took a chance. I've only played through one game so far (I run Windows 10, by the way) but did so without any problems. The developers seem to have fixed the bugs. I own several HexWar games and have never had a problem running any of them. If you're at all a fan of board war games you will…

    The game seems true to the brutal nature of WWII island warfare. I've now played it twice. The first time I was too aggressive and lost badly. (You only play it from the US perspective. The Japanese AI is essentially passive for the first three quarters of the game as it won't move units and its only decision is which US units to bombard. This is true to the history. Late in the game there may be some banzai charges…

    Game still has glitches. Bombardment stops working around turn 8. Got to turn 12 and the whole game froze.
