Scenario KWPP020

In French, "ça passe ou ça casse" means something like "Thru or broken". This is a clear cut mission : as the North Korean player, you have to exit at least 10 steps (T34-85s worth double) out of the other side of the maps to win. The US set up transversally with some artillery, recoiless rifles, loosy bazooka teams, some infantry, a deadly off board artillery (with VT fuse advantage in open) and 4 aircrafts. There are two roads, one on each side. As the North Korean, I've decided to split up my forces and attack along both roads + another team in the center. It was a risky decision because there was no real schwerpunkt, only troops everywhere to exploit any opportunity to go thru and exit. US aircrafts were rather erratic and killed just one T34/85 step. Two other full platoons of T34 were able to exit (8 Victory points) in a mad charge along both roads evading artillery shells and taking advantage of consistent initiative. The rest of the NK forces was a bit slower but since the NK infantry usually has a Direct Fire range of 1 or 2, you have to search for contact and assault. Soon, most US defenders were glued into assault hexes while other North Korean infantry was running to the exit. The scenario ends on 12th turn (on 24) with a North Korean victory. Fun and tense scenario.

(oh ! And I was about to forget : the US player endured a Logistics shortfall on 9th turn of the game. Excellent rule to finish off the game !!!)
