Operation Cartwheel

Today's game about Operation Cartwheel was very interesting to me. It really interests me that the US was so successful with all of the different battles on numerous islands. The way that the US was island hopping around the Pacific and just destroying all of the Japanese forces. When I first started reading about the operation I thought that it wasn't going too be too successful for the Japanese already because of the article about them bombing the US and because I did not think they could withstand our forces. I also thought that playing the game instead of just sitting down and taking notes really helped me to learn about the subject much easier.
