The Korean War Series Project!

[JayTownsend]

Cross-post from CSW:

originally when I designed the Korean War series I didn't know how large a following it would have or not and I figured at most three games and one supplement.

When I designed Intervention, it last had 67 scenarios and was not split-up, as I thought if it was, it would never see the light of day in AP publishing line up and I still think it is a grand package the way it is and covers a little of just about everything from 1950-53. Because of counter limitations, the French do show up in a small quantity in a scenario I called: The Battle of Chip'yong-ni and the Defense of the Wonju Line in the current Intervention game.

Even with the Supplement I designed to get more Allied Nations and Communist Guerrilla into the action, I was only able to add more British units/counters which will also pull some units from Counter-Attack, more Turkish units/counters, which would have pulled some units from Intervention, some Australian units, some Philippine Units and NPKA Guerrilla units. All the games and counter totals fit together like a puzzle, especially the counters. If split up and pulled apart I am not sure how it will look? But since there too many more UNC-Nations units/counters then possible to even think about adding more to the series! Maybe in more supplements.

So with Pusan Perimeter, Counter-Attack, Intervention and Allies I hoped to touch enough on the Korean War, to satisfy most gamers and not take AP ten years to produce all that material. But if Mike and Avalanche Press wants to split Intervention into two games, I'll support it, as long as the gamers do, as we all know AP makes great games, so the more the better. And Mike wants to add more ROK encounters as well.

But whatever products the Korean War turns out in the next few years, I think it is already a great mini-series within the Panzer Grenadier series and will only get better with each new product added to the Korean War.
