Korean War: Pusan Perimeter, scenario #36: Around the Bend

The American setup dug-in on the far northeastern hill supporting each other and it looks like an impossible fortress for the North Korean to attack but they lead their forces down the road with their dreaded T34/85s tanks. The 34/85s park two hexes away and fire on American positions through most of the earlier turns and have some good results. The Americans send in three air-strikes which missed the mark followed by a Bazooka Team led by a Sergeant which all died for their efforts. The NKPA are now up by 3 points to zero and need at least one more to win, so their infantry enter the picture but get blown apart by the last American airstrike, the off-board artillery and the HMG and Infantry fire coming from the hill top. The 75mm RR gun finally hit the mark destroying a step of NKPA armor and the North Koreans now have 5 steps losses to the Americans 3 step losses and pull back.

The game was Draw. I think the North Koreans are hard pressed to win this scenario but the Americans, unless they can take out the NKPA armor will find themselves with an equally difficult task in eliminating three more steps than the North Koreans unless the NKPA get careless with their infantry attacks, then the Americans should win.
