For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Battle of Iwo Jima.

Iwo Jima is a map set on the island of Iwo Jima in the Pacific Ocean. It is fought between United States and Japan.

Description[]

The Japanese start off with four control points. There is a neutral control point at the landing beach, which can only be captured by the Americans.

The American side initially suffers a ticket bleed until the Japanese hold three or fewer control points. The Japanese will suffer a gradual ticket bleed if all control points have been taken by the opponents.

The Americans rely on North Carolina-class battleship's sheer firepower and air superiority from Yorktown-class aircraft carrier to support the amphibious assault, whereas the Japanese has a number of stationary weapons, together with a smaller number of tanks and aircraft, to slow down the American assault. In Conquest mode, the Americans also have a Landing Ship Medium at their disposal.
