Overview:

X Corps landed at Inchon on 15 September and immediately advanced toward Seoul. By the 24th, Col. Lewis “Chesty” Puller’s 1st Regiment crossed the Han River west of the city and jumped off at 0700, but without their usual armor support, as all of the heavy bridges in the area had been destroyed. Capt. Bruce Williams of Company B, 1st Tank Battalion, would have to find another way to catch up and support the attack on Hill 105. Williams took his tanks around to a ferry run by Marine engineers, who, along with a rifle platoon led by Staff Sgt Arthur Farrington, became their immediate infantry support a they deployed for action in the small hills around Seoul’s western outskirts. After a shower of grenades and automatic fire revealed the location of the North Koreans, the Marine tankers deployed.

2021-03-20(D) Michael Rodgers vs Kedge Johnson North Korea winMany MA breaks on American tanks skewed this NK victory.
2021-03-20(A) Richard Jenulis vs Marizio Grassi North Korea winNor'Easter 2021 The American right hook flank was able to get behind the North Korean lines. The first shot with the AT-gun took out the Flame Tank. A hyper sniper took out the 9-2 leader and the entire left flank and center. The Koreans won with CVP.
2020-07-11(D) Rob MacGinley vs Rodney Ding American (USMC) winloved all teh toys teh North Koreans have in thsi one
I think its teh best of teh North Korean Games from MMP
Though teh VCs are very tricky - it make steh US player be stand offish with his tanks

My three tank traps - 2 x suicide heroes and one good AT mine hex lead only to one tank been taken out - it was a thrill to charge at them - he lost only one more tank when her tried to overrun (even CE) and was cooked by a MOL

Right down to the wire in counting prisoners etc etc and loved teh ending
2019-07-13(A) Stephen dedier vs Holt, Jim North Korea winThis one came down to the very end. Jim had spread his forces across the map in an effort to make me search them out for victory.
I was probably too conservative with the tanks pushing through the town worried about AT mines and suicide heroes. Seemed like I rolled a 5 on every search attempt.
In the end we tied 18 - 18 on points and the victory went to the North Vietnamese.
I didn't find the last 2 conscript squads or the AT gun which hurt the USMC chances.
I managed to stumble on the AA gun and routed the crew. Several rules were not completely clear.
I took 3HS prisoner and lost 4 HS but no tanks. I made a mistake on the last turn and could have tried for capture of the broken conscripts in the PB but didn't remember.
Do the guns count for Victory points, seems yes. If so, the two guns hidden are worth 8 VP alone and may be worth more than trying to use them against the marines. We also determined that the US had to take or destroy the gun to keep it from counting for the Koreans.
The Suicide heroes were problematic. I stumbled on one who was HIP and it seems that he couldn't attack the infantry but must target an AFV. This certainly means thinking about them a bit more.
