                    [CLASSIFIED: GENERALS EYES ONLY]

January 1945,



   To the General who recieves this,
	As you may know we have been planning the invasion of 
Iwo Jima for many months now and also explaining that Iwo Jima is the key goal in the stepping 
stones to Tokyo Japan. 
	The reason we are writing this to you is that YOU have been chosen for the command 
of the upcoming invasion. (date not set)
	General, as there was on "D-Day" the previous summer the factors of
when NOT if we invade play a role in 3 key factors: 

1.) Weather conditions.
2.) Enemy intel on our plans and movements.
3.) The training of the men you will be responsible of.
	
	But, from what were looking at this time, things are favorable for us
to invade within the next 1 to 2 months. The Japanese know that we will be setting 
our sights on Iwo Jima sometime in the future but they do not know how or when this
will come to be. But for what we know the Japanese know of the islands value to us that 
they have established a heavy defence force on the island for quite some time, 20 years of 
preparation to be exact. There is an estimated 20,000 of em' dug in through the most complex
array of bunkers and tunnel networks the world has ever seen.

	General, as you may know, the Marines are the ones who will be invading Iwo Jima. 
They will have some naval and air support, the Navy and Air Force will be pounding the
island to "soften them up" Then the Marines will be set out to land on the island via landing craft 
and later other forces will arrive by plane.

	Also, this fight will likely be infantry only, tanks and other vehicles
wont be readily available until those airfields are captured. This DOES NOT mean you won't be recieving
any vehicle support, it just means not a whole lot. So make use of and protect whatever we can get in there on the transports, because
the tanks will be easy targets if they get bogged down in the soft wet sand. 

OBJECTIVES: (Do in order as shown to minimize casulties and to ensure a swift success.)

1.) Bombard the island with naval and air support and land "safely" on the beach and establish a 
beachead by clearing out the defensive positions near your landing zone, (i.e. bunkers, arterilly platforms etc.) 
^ This will help make your push easier.

2.) Once thats done, begin to make your way to the Radio Station and capture it
by garrisoning some troops to clear it out and bring it under our control.
^ This will disable the Japanese's ability to coordinate units and radio for help from Japan. (or Warn Japan)  

3.) As the communications are compermised for the Japanese, capture the main airfield (the biggest)
so the B-29's and similar bombers can land here from bombing raids on Japan, because they have to ditch
into the Pacific otherwise and thats not good.(and in enemy waters on top of that, the Japanese sailors 
wont be too nice when rescuing the pilots that just finished bombing their homeland.)
^ Step 1 of 2 on capturing the airfields, also enables Paradrop Command at the Command Center. 
(hopefully you already have one established)

4.) With the main airfield secure, finish capturing the secondary airfield and clear out 
the enemies nearby. (so they dont try to re-capture it and take back their Zeros and Achivals in the hangars 
to use against us.) 
^ Step 2 of 2 on capturing the airfields, also enables vehicle drop to recieve Heavy Tanks (Also Known as the Crusader or M60 Patton depending on the mod)

5.) Now when the airfields are secure we still need to keep our planes from being shot down.
There is going to be some enemy risistance still hiding out in the hills to the east, including some anti air/machine gun nest bunkers.
They will defend their last control point well with mines and booby traps... disable the traps, 
remove the defenders, and knock out the bunkers.
^ Planes will land and/or bring units/supplies safely, Iwo Jima is then preety much secure.

	Also you asked: "Whats the new reason for capturing Iwo Jima?" Well, its still TOP SECRET and we 
cant reveal it UNTIL we see what the outcome of this battle will be.

	Good Luck, General.

                                                                         -Dismissed,
                                                                      General Macarther
                                                                       

HINTS/TIPS: 
1.)You may have to manually capture buildings attached to the airfields by using the capture building command.
2.)Also, watch out for booby traps and demo traps. (Dozers are good on removing these, including minefields)
3.)The Japanese have a vast array of Bunkers and Tunnel Networks. (Battleships are good on destroying these)
4.)There is a large supply pile and ammo/fuel dump near your landing area a little ways inland (northwest side), build a base around it.
5.)You might need to destroy the reinforcement pad at the main airfield to hamper enemy reinforcements and supply drops. 
6.)Piles of junk can buy you some time and bring free benefits. (they are repairable too)
7.)There are some GOOD AND BAD surprises in this mission.
8.)NO HELICOPTERS OR JETS for they were not in full service yet. (Earliest was in 1948 except for the German Messerscmitt Jet.)
9.)You may have to go directly to the command center to use your special abilities, due to some mod bugs. (i.e. paradrop, battleship bombardment etc.)
10.)To be historically accurate and balanced some upgrades should be overlooked. I tried to remove them but I dont know why it wont.
If you got a suggestion on how to remove them and fix other problems, it would be appreciated. (email address near bottom)

So are you ready for battle?

To gain access to the battlefield controls: Extract, copy, and paste 
the Invasion Of Iwo Jima files to your Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Map Directory.


Possible Bugs or Problems:
	The most obvious problem (im sorry to say) is on slower computers where the game is slow and/or choppy and/or does not run at all.
(otherwise recommended for pentium III computers with at least 512 mb RAM or better because I tried making realistic troop numbers and to make 
this as close to scale as possible. (possible= computer functionality) and still be functional for my computer<<<200gb HD 1gb RAM with pentium 4)<<<hopefully yours for best results (or close to anyway)
And if you want to use a MOD I know Zero Hour Reborn and Naval Wars works well but you can try your own MOD 
and see how it does, but it might screw up the mission or crash the game if the MOD does not work.
Oh, you might see some superweapon timers pop up when using some MODS. Disreguard them, they wont screw up the game.
If they do appear (which is very unlikely) Im sorry, but if they did I cant figure out how they got there and how to remove them, if you can help me fix that... let me know! 
Finally, Some Commands you may have to go directly to the Command Center to use and (possibly) even then they may not work.


MISC:
	I am also intrested if anyone has or knows of any graphics, and WWII vehicle mods (i.e. Sherman Tanks, Zero Fighters, blood/explosion FX)
Because that would really make this mission 100% better! And your Satisfaction 100% better!
I also have a simple skirmish map of this mission that EVERYONE can download and try out. (Not as good as the mission but easier on your computer) <<<Alternitive you have a pentium III or less 
or just have memory/graphics problems.
