Battle for Iwo Jima, by Yobo Wargames, is an interesting beast. At first it seems simple; the mechanics are minimalist; just push units forward in the appropriate phase, and literally attack every time a unit is adjacent to an enemy. However...

38 hours playing to lose after 7 days max every single game. ♥♥♥ artillery hits and always causes casualties, they can fire 2 hexes always causing casualties, they can ambush and always hit, they banzai and always hit, the Americans have support which does nothing, they cannot hit anything, they cannot assault. Pointless game made to look pretty and that is it.
