Korean War: scenario #6: Death of an Artillery Battalion

I won’t go into a great AAR on this one, as I want to see how other gamers do with it, not based on my results, as this one was very tough on the Americans and for a change I believe the NKPA are heavy favorites in this scenario. There are three different ways to figure points on this one that have to be carefully read. The American air-force pretty much were zero effect in this scenario and in fact the M13 helicopter was almost shot down. The American chose the strategy of starting setup up on the road with all the units loaded and the armor leading, to try the exit strategy, this didn’t work out as the NKPA have a blocking force on the road until their main force enters from the south and north in a squeeze play. I believe they will need to start with their artillery unloaded for the first half of the game, for firing support as the bum-rush exit strategy gave the North Koreans a Major Victory with a eleven point difference. I’ll have to try this one again and maybe solve this puzzle? This one ended with the death of my Artillery Battalion as well but one loaded gun managed to escape, with a M5 HST prime mover and a few jeeps and that was it.
