I thinking of playing USMC,Besides the new book is their any info on a theatre selection anywhere?

Armies of the United States has a theatre for Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.

There is, though the 1944-1945 selector is somewhat compressed and simplified [ie Pershings throughout, even though they were only used on Iwo Jima in 1945]

Thanks guys,i am just getting started and Winter is coming up here in the MID west,So it is my painting season and iam burned out on 15mm ww2 painting aka FOW models,but atlest my collection of 15mm is over 90 percent pinted.
Since i am Starting BA i figured i would Starta 28mm Collection up. i looked at the USA sets and to me liked the MArines the best and also you get 30 fig instead of 25 as with the other sets and also i play reg us Army in FOW.One of the other things is that i like the NEw MErrils MArauders set.So for me the MArines will be something different for me.
As for the info i was needing tanks for the replies,All i have at the moment is the BAsic rulebook,German book and a gak incomplete scan of the USA book that i found on the net.
Now off to NWS online to order me some leathernecks.

What?

None on Iwo Jima.

They requested to send some to the fighting on Okinawa due to heavy losses in M4s, but they didnt offload till 4th August and the fighting was over and the war ended on 15th August.

Dont feel bad P are game is going to be so historically inaccurate that you will want to fly to Chicago and kick my Arse.
Here is one for Starters, GEF,it is going to be a LW German eped. force sent to the PAcific.So far it is going to have a KT and boatload of Volks Grenadiers with STG and FAust.
BUT dont feel bad one are biggest what if scenarios is that what would have happened if the JAps had sent a Carrier fleet the MED. and Attacked malta and Crete,Also helped the Italians in AFrica.

Your game mate, have fun with it.

Ain't no point otherwise...
