Overview:

Major Koh Kil Hun's 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, Korean Marine Corps was attached to the 5th Marines, who together were tasked with taking a series of heights just west of Seoul. The Marines did not anticipate that these hills, which were not very high nor excessively rugged by Korean standards, would form the main line of resistance for the approaches to Seoul. In fact, the KPA commander for this sector MG, Wol, had made them just that. He had, in an unorthodox move, particularly fortified the center of his line directly across from the village of Kung-dong, along the length of Hill 56, in time to be known as "Smith's Ridge" to the U.S. Marines. Here Wol had dug additional trenches and foxholes to augment those left over from the Japanese occupation, when these hills had been used as a training ground. At 0700 it fell to the 1st Battalion KMC to summit this ridge in order to secure it for the move into Seoul.

2021-08-29(A) Rich Weiley vs Richard Cornwell South Korean winI had the South Korean Marines in this game. My right hand company suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the 81mm mortar and the anti-tank gun firing from the Hilltop Defensive Perimeters. My left flank company had a shorter distance to go to reach the better cover of the village and more importantly my opponent was only able to get one OBA mission down before losing access.

This allowed me to close in on the HDP at The Knoll which I kept suppressed using the OBA. By turn five this position was isolated and only a squad manning an MMG in a bunker was still in Good Order.
When I advanced a 8-1 and squad into the trench in the hex and eliminated the MMG squad in CC my opponent conceded.
Not sure what to say about the balance on this one as I won in Turn 5 and the scenario is 9 turns long. Certainly if my opponent had better luck with his OBA the result may have been different. It seems to me that the HDP victory condition is the easiest one for the South Koreans to aim for and The Knoll is the most vulnerable of these to aim for., being only two hexes large and relatively easy to isolate.
Overall we both enjoyed the scenario and thought it was very evocative of the battle. Despite having both aircraft and OBA in play the rules overhead was not excessive and the scenario played pretty quickly.
