Cold War PG!

[campsawyer]

Jay, they are not using WWII equipment today. Given what is going on over there today.

Alan, I am talking about 1950!

[JayTownsend]

It is starting to shape up nicely!

It is not the end, only the beginning of the end!

Woohoo....Mike posted today on the AVP game publishers thread that the next PG release in the 1947-50 era will be a boxed historical game! I figure that means the first Indo-Pakistani War, the Israeli War of Independence, or maybe Korea. Not that it is likely to Happen, but what other wars were in progress during that period? Conquest of Tibet maybe?

Larry, it's going to be Sword of David.

Ah, somehow I was thinking that was covering the 67 war. Does that mean Modern PG has been dropped, since 48'49 would be standard PG?

The absence of China from the PG OOB continues to bother me. The fact that we are probably going to see a Middle East PG expansion before a Korean War iteration is mystifying.

Cannot agree more! - PzGren system would is ideal for Korea 50-53, and the opportunity to make maps with some very difficult and unique terrain. There are so many phenomenal combat actions - true nail biters and heroics, amphibious and airborne ops and more- . Russel Guegler's book is a great depiction of some of the varied actions- check it out - about 19 ready scenarios right here... these would translate into great scenarios.

I need to find a good book on the Korean War that covers details of Company, Battalion and Regiment units and so on, from the North Korean 1950 Invasion to the 1953 armistice?

I have just finished reading one book and found about 12 internet web-sites that will cover the above but it would be nice to have one book that do all that instead of 13 sources if anybody can recommend one?

Jay,
Ft. Leavenworth, US Army Combat Studies Institute has a tremendous amount of good published material on the Korean War as well as few other good publications: Here are some recommendations:

Combat Actions in Korea - great vignettes from company to regimental level actions of all types.

The Leavenworth Papers series on - Artillery Anthology, Counterattack along the Naktong 1950, and Over the Beach - Amphibious Operations in Korea are all excellent with OOBs, and useful AARs and scenarios.

Armyduck, I have all the information I need now! Once I got over the early ROK and NKPA battles it became much easier.

But for anyone to think The Korean War at platoon level combat could be in one game is nuts. It would be like putting all WWII into on PG game, it just isn't going to happen but I have a great starter game on the Korean War I have actually been working on for awhile now. I kind of snowballed everyone here, as even though I have been working on it, I didn't want to commit to it, unless I liked it and I am liking it!

The Cold War is going to become hot!

But this is the last I will talk about it for now!

Apparently, Sword of David will be the Six Day War, done for modern PG, not the Israeli War of Independence.

Anyway, what ever game to appear next in the Patton's Nightmare/Hammer of the Proletariat series will be boxed, and historical, which probably means Korea, Palestine, or the first Indo-Pakistani war
