Overview:

As the morning fog lifted on the fourth day of war, motorized elements of the KPA 7th Division, supported by armor, rolled down the Hongch'on road, intent on overrunning the defenders of the South Korean 6th Division. In the pass, a ROK company from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment, supported by two batteries of the 16th Field Artillery Battalion and elements of the 3rd Battalion, 19th Regiment, were waiting and ready.

2019-03-13(A) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall North Korean winThe 2nd tank in line was almost immediately knocked out by a rear AT gun shot. The infantry charged from the north. By the end of Turn 2 the first unit advanced out of the valley, but I had lost three more tanks trying to make a break for it to some hot AT gun fire. I also lost a commissar to the sniper. Two more tanks were lost in Turn 3, while the remaining three retreated to await the fast-approaching infantry. Almost all my tanks' crews had survived however to prove nuisances to the SKoreans, and one even made it off the board for an early 2 VP. Having only lost a squad and the aforementioned commissar, and with my initial wave swarming onto the Level 1 hills, it looked like a foregone conclusion that I'd easily have enough men to make the VC. He still had a lot of hidden units though and decided to press on. He would need to rely on them almost exclusively however because he was down to two GO squads and one AT gun by the end of Turn 5. They kept popping up along the way to my exit, but in the end I was able to get off 15 VP by the end of my Turn 8. Definitely the best Korean scenario I have played, but my opponent said it got a bit boring early due to his heavy reliance on HIP units springing traps. Considering I found the previous two scenarios boring as the defender, perhaps this is just a fact of life for FW.
