Description

D-Day at Tarawa is a solitaire game that drops you into the intense fighting on Betio Island in November 1943. As the commander of the invading American forces, you'll face off against dug-in Japanese defenders, controlled by the game system. This challenging game is part of a series based on John Butterfield's groundbreaking D-Day at Omaha Beach system, and it's designed for a single player to experience the critical days of battle at a platoon and company scale. With a playtime of 120 to 420 minutes, D-Day at Tarawa is a game that requires strategy and patience, as you navigate the complexities of the game rules to clear the island. The game's mechanics, including a hexagon grid and battle card driven system, make for a realistic and immersive simulation of one of the Pacific War's most brutal battles.
