13 new boxed PG titles

[JayTownsend]

Hope there are scenario's around the 23rd RCT and the French Battalion and the armored cav relief at Chip-yong-ni in the game.

Yeah, it is in Intervention. I only have one French scenario so far, because my counter-mix is limited to 352 counters. The Supplement Allies adds other and more nationalities but I was going to create a second Supplement with more Allied nations including the French but with Mike/AP wanting to split up Intervention into to games, and so far behind on my submitted designs, I am not sure if I'll do more or not?

Here is rough designer draft but I have no idea what Mike will do when he split it up, which I didn't really want to happen. 

Scenario Thirty Seven 

The Battle of Chip’yong-ni and the Defense of the Wonju Line
13-14 February 1951
 
The Chinese did not immediately follow the U.S. 2nd Division after entering Hoengsong but a heavy blow was expected. Chinese units were already exploiting gaps in the line. Chip’yong-ni straddles a stream in the lower end of a small valley and hugged the mountains to the northeast. Colonel Freeman considered the terrain well suited for defense by the 23rd Regimental Combat Teams, which was mix of many combat units. On the night of February 13-14th the Chinese aligned a large force to challenge the defenses of Chip’yong-ni from all four directions. Signal flares were an indication of a difficult night to come. 

US Army & French Army

Elements, 23rd Infantry, 2nd Division, 1st Ranger Company, B Battery 37th Field Artillery Battalion, B Battery 503rd Field Artillery Battalion, 82nd Antiaircraft Automatic Weapons Battalion, C Company 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion and a French Battalion. 
Set up first anywhere on map 110. All units in the appropriate terrain may begin dug-in.  


Conclusion

Whistles, horns and bugles blast started that night with heavy artillery from both sides joining in. Colonel Freeman’s tight perimeter prevented a Chinese break through except in the area of G Company but this to would be soon blunted by shifting reinforcements from F Company and the regimental tank company. By daylight the Chinese withdrew into the dominating heights around Chip’yong-ni. The Chinese casualties were very high while Freeman’s forces suffered about one hundred casualties including Colonel Freeman who suffered a leg wound from a mortar fragment but refused immediate evacuation.


Here was another teaser scenario but I didn't have enough counters to include the French in this one but in later product I hope!

Scenario Fifty Five

Heartbreak Ridge the New Plan     

10 October 1951

 

By October 10th the U.S. 2nd Division controlled Hill 931 by diversionary attacks in the days before, as the North Koreans could not concentrate all their attention upon all the different assaults. The last objective on Heartbreak Ridge was Hill 851 and like the other before, nothing looked easy!

Conclusion

Two battalions from the U.S. 2nd Division assaulted the last objective on Heartbreak Ridge-Hill 851 while in the Satiae-ri Valley Sherman tanks blasted away at the bunkers on the eastern slopes of Hill 851. By a fortunate coincidence the enemy was caught in the middle of relieving the North Korean V Corps in the Heartbreak Ridge and Mudung-ni area and American tankers raced over to Mundung-ni and inflicted heavy losses upon the Chinese troops trying to relieve them, cutting off supply and the replacement routes up the western slope to Heartbreak Ridge.

 

The Battle was not quite over and it would take several more days to secure Heartbreak Ridge with the French troops storming the peak after 30 days of hard combat on October 13th. Heartbreak Ridge was in possession of the 2nd Division to stay. The 2nd Division and attached French Battalion had suffered over 3,700 casualties from September 13th to October 15th.  The North Korean 6th, 12th and 13th Division and the CCF 204th Division all suffered an estimated 25,000 casualties in this time period.



Anyway, I hope sooner then later we see Intervention is some kind of format.
