This one has roughly two battalions of NKPA attacking from 2 sides while a smaller US force holds the town and hills to the north. NKPA has a single goal, take out 12 steps of US troops. Nothing about taking ground or having surviving numbers. I set up the US with two stacks of infantry and 1 HMG to hold the town, forcing anything stopping on the bridges to take the adjacent fire shot before being able to assault. Since the river is minor and wont stop anything for long, I spaced out the defence along the hill, keeping in woods when possible but digging in one INF and the RR where they could form the shoulder of western and northern defences, lining up the rest in the woods on the southern shoulders of the level 2 hill. NKPA formed two battalion forces with the commander and a poor level Kommisar leading the force to cross the river while the other force , lead by the Major, came in from the north end. US forces became decapitated early as NKPA forces survived crossing the bridges and entered assault, but the surviving troops held them there and the NKPA beat themselves on the thin line of troops in town. The northern assault force fared no better, managing to inflict the only 2 step losses the US suffered while bleeding themselves dry trying to close for assaults. Superior US arty did a lot of damage while NKPA guns only disrupted some troops for a few turns. Both sids opted to use their air power early on, and the very first NKPA aircraft came but didnt make out anything to shoot at, while US air support pounded the NKPA commander and his hex for 3 turns, keeping them pinned and unable to influence combat for some time. In the end, NKPA had only managed the 2 steps and the US commander lost to their own 20 steps, 1 Cpt and 1 LT lost. Big US win.

The tile of this AAR comes from a quote of my unit commander while I was in Korea as a scout jeep driver. Just before he lead our scout platton on an assault of a fortified position. Yep, the bodies would have been ours that day.
