D-Day at Peleliu 3rd Edition

D-Day at Peleliu 3rd Edition is a solitaire World War II board wargame from Decision Games covering the U.S. amphibious assault on Peleliu in September 1944. The player commands U.S. Marine forces against a determined Japanese defense built around hidden positions, overlapping fields of fire, coral fortifications, mountain terrain, and brutal close combat.

Product Type: Solitaire boxed wargame / second edition.

Designed by John Butterfield, D-Day at Peleliu advances the solitaire system used in D-Day at Omaha Beach. Its no-dice combat system emphasizes unknown enemy deployments, correct weapon use, tactical positioning, and the pressure of maintaining momentum under fire. Event cards control enemy action and introduce historical detail while keeping play moving.

New features for Peleliu include coordinated Japanese counterattacks, fortified coral and mountain positions, close combat, and the fighting through Umurbrogol Mountain, remembered by the Marines as Bloody Nose Ridge.

Scenarios cover the 15 September landing and seizure of the airfield, the two-day Peleliu Assault, and the later fight to clear Bloody Nose Ridge.

Contents include: one 34×22 inch mounted game board, 352 die-cut counters, 55 event cards, full-color rules booklet, player aid cards, and storage bags.
