The famous photo by Joe Rosenthal was indeed a picture of the second flag raising. However, it was NOT a reenactment. There was an order to raise a larger flag. That is what was caught in the photo. It has been inaccurately described as a reenactment or a staged photo for decades. Sorry, just an old Marine who takes these things way too seriously (Like most old Marines) I will be getting this game and Tarawa. Thanks for the game play on this and all the other games you have brought us.

Thanks for the clarification!
Excellent point. In a similar fashion, I was surprised the card titled Heroism and Medics didn’t use the proper terminology of Corpsmen.
Thanks Joe!

How long did it take for this game to ship from Worthington?
Less than a week. It was quick.
@ Thank you!
Hi, the initial IJA atrack uses 4 dice, because you add one vs Beaches - the designer chimed in to clarify that point on BGG.
