Date: February 19, 1945*
*
Battle Type: USMC Assault vs Japanese Defend*
*
Design: Dick (Boomer) Burleigh*

*
This scenario is a smaller and simpler version "First Ashore" that focuses upon the initial landings on Green Beach 1.*
*
On Iwo Jima, Mount Suribachi rose to a commanding height of 550 feet above the beaches.  Much of the 8 square mile island could be seen from atop of the heavily fortified volcano.  Some intelligence indicated that the Headquarters of the Japanese defenses may be buried deep within the array of bunkers, caves and tunnels dug into Suribachi.*
*
On D-Day, B and C Companies of the 28th Marine Regiment were assigned to push inland from Green 1 and sever the head of the beast by isolating Suribachi from the rest of the island.  Your assignment is to push through to the cliffs overlooking the western beaches and "Sever The Head". Watch your flanks.*
