9 April, 1945
Tsugen Shima. A small island three miles off of the southeast coast of Okinawa. Historical. (Best played as allied or against human opponent). As the battle for southern Okinawa intensified, it became apparent to the Americans that they had to secure their flanks from possible Japanese attacks. Therefore the Eastern Islands, which are located just east of Okinawa, had to be taken. The only island of this group with any sizable Japanese force was Tsugen Shima. A small, but dedicated force of Japanese Army troops were dug in, heavily fortified and perfectly willing to hold the island to the last man. The 3rd Battallian of the 305th U.S. Army Infantry Regiment was ordered to take Tsugen Shima with the help of U.S. Navy destroyers, cruisers and naval air power. The soldiers in the landing craft knew that this would be a tough fight.
