At the Kihang ferry crossing near Agok, A Company, supported by tow tanks and two AAA halftracks, prepared to receive the assault.

2023-07-08(A) Paul Works vs Dan Best North Korean winI was able to destroy both M16s early with the AA Guns; this allowed the NKPA to swarm up to the hill and overwhelm the defending Americans.

2020-08-21(D) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque North Korean winBruno and I played 209 A LINE TOO THINLY HELD. I had the American defenders. I tried to hunker my main force in a reverse slope defence. This takes the NK OBA and AA weapons out of the battle, but doesn't allow the Americans to fail too many MC. The left flank force tried to join the main force, but only the 4 AFV made it there. The NVR of 6 means the NK MG can take shots at the meat-choppers from a distance while cannon fodder keeps the bullets away from the NK MG. For the first time in a night scenario I had a squad become a casualty when it strayed into enemy lines. My defence held for awhile. The first wave of NK suffered, but the second wave fared better. On NK4, one of the meat-choppers broke its MA. I lost a Pershing to CC, but an American squad in CC won its CC. The aforementioned halftrack was immobilized and then became a burning wreck in CC of NK5. One squad is in Melee that will continue to the end. On NK6, an MG shot burns the second meat-chopper. During A6, the NK MG break a squad and a half that I had just rallied and were supposed to come back to the hill. During the CC of A6, the last American squad on the hill dies in CC to give the NK their immediate win.

I hope to hear of someone trying a hilltop defence in this scenario to see if it fares better.
2018-10-23(D) mark watson vs Will Willow North Korean winKorean win on turn 7 in this very funny not quite a normal night scenario -- no scenario attacker or defender leads to a all out battle with low visibility. Worth a play.
