Overview:

Although the island of Peleliu had been declared secure on September 30th, about a thousand Japanese remained in an area some 900 yards long by 400 yards wide. In some of the fiercest fighting of the entire Pacific campaign they had repelled in succession the 1st Marines, the 7th Marines, the 321st Infantry, and the 7th Marines again. The terrain in the pocket comprised jagged coral ridges and outcroppings, cut through by natural and man-made caves. Weeks of aerial and naval bombardment had stripped away most of the vegetation. What remained bore a resemblance to the surface of the moon. When the 7th Marines withdrew for the last time, the fresh 5th Marines were called upon to finish the job. . .

2023-03-13(A) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall Japanese winTried for eliminating half the caves. Brought tanks in on east side. All marines set up on board. Marines were badly shot up trying to get to the 25BB4 area caves. Tanks had no smoke or WP. Conceded after three turns.
2021-03-28(A) Michael Tisdel vs Joe Schirmer Japanese winPlaying by email using VASL, this took Joe and I 107 days to complete (over Christmas and New Years holidays and busy work days). Most of this was due to the complexity of the caves and the rule interactions.
2020-05-23(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Japanese win
