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)
I wonder if everyone playing notices that the Chicomm must exit from the same side as they enter. I thought by covering their victory hexes with my UN forces I could prevent a Chicomm victory, but once they are in, they can break and run towards the exit. I think that I needed to move the tanks behind the Chicomms as fast as possible.

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
