KMTRed Army
Overview:
The Communist 1st Front Army left its home in mid-October, breaking out to the southwest. Deceived by the forces left behind, the Nationalists were unaware of the scale of the breakout for a month. The Red Army used this time to extricate its painfully slow logistics columns across the mountains. The Nationalists rushed large numbers of troops into the area. The newly recruited Red Army 34th Division was trailing the main body. The KMT overcame the division as it approached the Xiang River.Attacker: KMT (Elements of KMT)
Defender: Red Army (Elements 34th Division Chinese Red Army)

| 2022-01-19 | (A) Jobbo Fett | vs | Hypnobeard | Red Army win | Another strange scenario dominated by Open Ground, a need for the KMT to Human Wave, and terrible amounts of Conscripts that are meant to break and die. I struggle to understand what the designer was thinking regarding the structure of this scenario. How is the KMT expected to attack? Is there something regarding HWs I'm just not grokking? In any case, this scenario felt like a real stinker; one I would never play again. | ||
| 2021-06-05 | (A) Stephen Stewart | vs | Mark D | KMT win | Limped onto the board as the KMT, Red's had a small array of forces in strategic positions... So, only thing I could do, is HUMAN WAVE the small village, next turn Human Wave the woods to clear out the flankers (losing my 8-1) MMG malfs...So, defending units in copse of woods in O4....Human Wave the 4 squads there. At least 3 human waves just to overwhelm the enemy. Exited the VC needed but had to play it out to determine Casualties for the CG | ||
| 2018-10-19 | (A) Allen Evenson | vs | David Kocot | Red Army win | Made some progress near the hill but wasn't able to keep David from reinforcing the exit. Ended early with about half the exit VP needed and not enough forces left to make it. |
