The Assault on Peleliu Airfield - 15mm Wargame (Part 2)
In this episode we finish up the eight-player 15mm miniature wargame of Mark Ritchie’s “Tactical Combat” system, recreating part of US Marine Corps’ assault on the Peleliu Airfield on 15 September 1944.
This was part of the controversial assault on the Palau Islands, meant to secure the left wing of the upcoming (and much larger) assault on the Philippines. Although the necessity of the Palau Islands operation (and the sloppy haste with which it was prepared, launched and supported) has been called into serious question, what cannot be questioned is the courage of the Marines who landed there – and the grit, dedication, and tenacity of their foes in the Imperial Japanese Army.
This game tackles the assault of 5th Marine Regiment against the Peleliu Airfield (held by elements of 14th IJA Division), held at Das Krieg Haus, home of the South Florida Miniatures Gaming Club.
Great video’s Jim was Peleliu one of the battles in the Pacific series.?
@zorg – yes, it was Part 6 I believe.
Ooh a good excuse to rewatch the series I think then.
