On the morning of 4 April, the commander of the UN Belgian Battalion sent a combat patrol along with a troop of Centurian tanks from the 9th Royal Irish Hussars to determine Chinese dispositions north of the Imjim River. Once deep into no man's land, the Belgians made contact with a Chinese patrol. A short firefight ensued . . . . This tense meeting engagement does not require players to know/use IPM or many of the more exotic CPVA rules, so it is a perfect beginner scenario for those who want to learn how to play the Communist Chinese.
Attacker: Communist Chinese (CPVA) (188th Division, 64th Army)
Defender: British / OUNC (Belgian) (Belgian Battalion and British 8th Royal Irish Hussars)
An enjoyable game that did not follow the scenario preamble of light casualties and damaging fire from the centurians. None of the afvs could find any HE and there were casualties and prisoners a plenty. The game swung from a tight but likely chinese win due to an untimely sniper, in the last UN turn, taking out a 9-1 leader and thereby preventing the exit of said leader and a reduced squad, effectively a 6VP swing

The Chinese have a lot to do with little to fight the tanks
Charge in - hop in a building and run out - I just got caught out by nasty tanks with little to protect myself
Over very quickly really and if there is a way to play it as the Chinese would appreciate the advice!
