Scenario 7 – Marshall Islands

Part 2: Eniwetok and Parry Islands:

Operation Catchpole

Eniwetok is the South Island and Parry is the North Island.

D-Day Eniwetok

D-Day Parry Island

Parry Island D-Day +1

D-Day +1 Eniwetok

D-Day +2 Eniwetok

Parry Island Turn 4

Turn 5 Eniwetok

Parry Island Turn 6

Both islands fell very quickly with minimum casualties. I lost one platoon on the flank at Eniwetok to concentrated Japanese counter-attacks.

Victory in the Marshalls

My campaign in the Marshalls mirrored the rapid success the US Marines, Army and Navy had in the Marshall Islands. Next target – Saipan.

The missions continue after the holidays!
