2nd Pre-order Campaign – Iwo Jima Update Kit Progress – Update #4
Hi everyone, Jose Neva here.
I’m pleased to share an update regarding the progress of the Iwo Jima Update Kit. Currently, all components for the English version have been drafted. The files are now in the hands of our rulebook editors for a final polish to ensure everything is clear and concise.
Once the English master version is finalized, we will immediately begin the Spanish translation.
In the meantime, we wanted to share some of the progress with you. Below, you’ll find visual previews and detailed explanations of what this update kit brings to your table.
WHAT’S INSIDE THE KIT?
1) Rulebook v 2.0: A fully revised edition featuring new difficulty modes, scenarios, and refined mechanics.
Expanded Rulebook: The rulebook has grown from 36 to 40 pages, allowing for more detailed explanations and clearer examples of play.
Streamlined Historical Content: To maximize space for gameplay mechanics, the illustrated historical prelude has been condensed into a focused, 2-page layout without losing its thematic impact.
Improved Setup & Clarity: We have completely overhauled the Game Setup layout for a faster start. Additionally, we’ve added vital clarifications on key mechanics, such as U.S. Control, to ensure a smoother experience.
New Difficulty Mode: A fresh challenge for veteran players looking to test their skills.
Two Additional Scenarios: We’ve included two brand-new scenarios to provide even more variety and replayability to your games.
2) Player Aid Booklet v 2.0: An updated version of the original reference booklet for faster consultation.
3) New Player Aid Sheet: A convenient, folded A4 summary sheet for quick reference.
4) New Player Aid Panel (Optional): A dedicated panel to help players track Combat DRM, Bombardment Points, and more.
5) 30 New Markers (Optional): We’re including 30 new markers for the Optional Player Aid Panel, but we didn’t stop there! Since we were using a half-counter sheet, we decided to fill the final four empty slots with four new Japanese Intelligence markers. It’s a great way to maximize the sheet and add even more variety to your intelligence pool.
5) Unit Marker Correction (145th Japanese Unit): We are taking this opportunity to fix a small typo on the 204th Japanese unit marker, which was missing the “th.” While we successfully updated the US 23rd Regiment in the original box, the 204th remained uncorrected. This update kit allows us to ensure every component meets our quality standards and is historically accurate.
My commitment to you was to improve the rules and player aids, but during development, we decided to include additional components to truly elevate the gameplay experience. Our goal is to ensure that our original supporters have the best version of the game possible.
Future-Proofing Your Game We want to ensure your collection remains current. Owners of the First Edition who add this Update Kit will have all the content necessary to match any potential future Second Edition.
