New RS scenario

[Valor]

Great to see new RS work available for playing.

The scenario: Flags of our Fathers by K.K.Rossokolski can be downloaded from here: https://www.theblitz.club/h2h_production...ls&sid=212

SM - 9, Turns: 42
Date: 19 FEB 1945
Details: (Iwo Jima, Bonin islands, Northern Pacific) (H2H) (HIS) (BZ) IWO JIMA.. a desolate small volcanic island, 1/2 way between Japan and the Marianas. The assault was a climax to the 16-month drive that carried the amphibious forces of the United States across the Central Pacific to Japan's doorstep. Striking first at Tarawa in November 1943, American forces had swept rapidly westward, seizing only those islands essential for support of future operations. Many powerful enemy strongholds were bypassed and neutralized. By late 1944 Iwo Jima had assumed such importance as a base for future air operations that its rapid seizure became imperative. Neutralization would not do; Iwo must be taken. There can be no more fitting tribute than the well-known words of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, "Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island uncommon valor was a common virtue." (This scenario depicts the landing, and endeavours to portray the progress of the long battle in less than 50 turns. The ground is set as "mud" to simulate the difficult ashy surface. Reinforcements start to arrive at turn 8, so that the US player has time to simulate the massive extended bombardment of the island. In order to reduce congestion on the island, some Japanese units will appear as "reinforcements." Suitable as Team game)
