Outstanding Rick! I am glad you guys were able to make this happen. It is an awesome HASL and needed to get out to the masses. Waiting for that pre-order to go up so I can order a copy.
To me the vagarities of the dice are the beauty of the system. As the squad leader, your troops are not always going to perform or execute orders the way you want them to. They may break and run instead of charging that pillbox, artillery fire requested and planned for may not be available...
See G 1.423. A THH created by an MMC that has already expended movement factors had 2 MF deducted for each one MF expended by creating MMC unless that MMC was conducting a Banzai charge when THH was created.

Both great recommendations. DZSME is more readily available, but I found Pegasus Bridge on Ebay as mentioned and did not have to give an arm up for it. Both have a bit of specialized rules thrown in, (Bocage and glider landings), but nothing too daunting. Just a bit of extra reading to get...

Glad to hear it is continuing to be worked on and is "in the pipeline". It is a large module with a lot of content, and I appreciate the amount of work it must take to produce something like this. Please keep it moving forward and let us know if we can help in any way (proofing, playtesting...
This module is going to be epic. The beauty of the Peleliu action is that the terrain is so varied. You have the murderous beach assault, the wide-open airfield and finally the coral ridges and caves of the Umurbrogul. Any player that fancies PTO should be able to find plenty of action on...
