This scenario has the North Koreans defending against a poor morale US force. NKPA has to hold hills, US Army has to take them. I put a small NK force on each hill using woods and elevations to mask them and force the US to come in close, especially since some of the NKPA units only have a range of 1 (SMGs) and 2 (Infantry). For the US, I made up 2 attack forces lead by the Captain and the Major with another LT and stack adjacent, with the LTC following the road between hills to set up a base of fire with the mortar and to have a reaction force in the village just left of center so he could assist with the eastern hill if needed as well as keep up mortar fire on any hill. The North Koreans got the initiative and never let go of it, and nearly always managed at least 2 activations before US reaction each turn. US took casualties quickly, and had to back away from assaults several times due to failed morale, but usually managed to get away without further bloodshed. The NKPA didn't manage quite so well when the southwestern hill defense started losing and failing morale checks. The southeast hill force managed to hold right up to the last, but the southwest hill fell to the US on turn 14 and the US chased the remaining NKPA troops right off the west edge of the board at the edge of that hill, giving them 1 hill anyway. Losses: 6 NKPA to 7 US. With the southeastern hill still being fought for, it didn't count for either side, so with the total difference being 17 NKPA to 11 US, it ended in a draw. Great little game.
