Overview:

During the night of 5 August, the KPA 4th Guards Seoul Division made its initial assault into the “Naktong Bulge”. The North Koreans pressed forward nearly two miles before the 34th’s commander, Colonel Charles Beauchamp, realized what was happening and ordered the 1st Battalion, under Lt. Col. Harold “Red” Ayres, to counterattack and restore the regiment’s position. The next morning, Ayres led C Company forward, where they encountered North Korean positions in the vicinity of Soesil village. Col. Ayres ordered C Company to seize a series of hills occupied by the KPA northwest of Soesil while he directed 60mm mortar fire in support. C Company was forced to break off the attack and fall back. The remnants took refuge in an abandoned grist mill while Col. Ayres and his staff frantically rushed back on foot to bring up the rest of the battalion. The company fought tenaciously in and around the grist mill, utilizing the .50-cal machine gun mounted on a nearby wreck to spray the surrounding hills.

2020-06-02(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd North Korean winA neat little scenario that could be very dicey. The HMG was unable do any damage to a North Korean squad on the hill so routing units became problematic and then the Americans were overrun. Only the 9-1 leader was manning the HMG at the end and the 7-0 jumped him in CC and rolled a "2" sealing the victory for the NK.
2020-03-12(D) Fred Schwarz vs Mike LaPlante North Korean win
2019-07-13(D) Scott Sherer vs Paul Crouse American winAmericans held off a last-gasp desperation charge by the Norkos to hold R9 for the victory. My 60mm went on a rate tear on Turn 1 getting off 6 or 7 shots and breaking at least two commie squads but then succumbed to the ammunition shortage SSR and malf'ed, not to return for the rest of the game. My opponent did a nice job of advancing towards the victory building without giving my 0.50cal any juicy shots. The Americans were getting squeezed back in their perimeter but managed to hold the high ground around the mill. On the next-to-last turn, a throw-away shot at a broken green American squad on the hill resulted in a MC. My opponent says right before I roll "Just don't HOB" and bam, snakes! The pathetic, broken 546 battle-hardens into a veteran unbroken 666 and made the final turn even more of a reach for the North Koreans than it was going to be already. Pretty basic scenario and fairly static for the US, but a good introduction to Korea as it doesn't really use many special rules except for some terrain mods (paddy fields and light woods).
