Description:
|
World War II divided Korea into a Communist, northern half and an American-occupied southern half, divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea.
Play as one of 2 factions battling for ground and ideology.
The scenario begins in September 1950. The United Nations are reeling from defeat after defeat. They have been backed in to what became known as the Pusan perimeter. Here the United Nations forces were told to hold the line or die trying. There would be no further retreats.
Simultaneously, General MacArthur had just completed his surprise invasion of the port city Inchon. Here he predicted that he would smash the North Korean forces between the hammer and anvil. The North Koreans are cut off from resupply. The Chinese are poised to enter the war.
You have your choice of being the Communists or the United Nations.
This is a victory point location game there are two victory points in the United Nations and Communist cities. In addition there are two victory point locations to fight over at the 38th parallel.
The goal is to control as much ground as possible at the end of the three year time limit. The turns are in weeks.
