Scenario KWPP022

In this scenario a full regiment of North Koreans along with a company of armor can get behind an American reinforced battalion. The North Koreans have morale, force size and armor support going for them. The Americans have good direct fire values and that's about it. To win the American player has to get off the south edge of the board, which is pretty darn close to impossible.

In our play I entered in two groups on each side of the middle board, behind the Americans. Due to the setup instructions the Americans were not mounted and therefore could not make an immediate run for it. They were able to secure the town on the middle board but the North Koreans were able to establish a strong line blocking the exit to the south. After a couple turns of maneuver it became apparent that there was no way for the Americans to escape and 4 or 5 turns of grinding indicated that the Americans would not be able to stand up to the Korean attacks.

In essence the Koreans set up a slaughter along the road. This is VERY historical and I would encourage anyone who wants to know the despair of the American retreat to try this one out, solo. It is not well suited to competitive play as there is simply no ability for the Americans to compete. I give it a "2" for face to face but I would go to a 3 or 4 as a solo exercise.
