Overview:
During the nights of 27 and 28 November 1950, the separated elements of the 31st Regimental Combat Team were surrounded and nearly destroyed by elements of the 80th and 81st CVPA Divisions. On 29 November, the regimental units were consolidated on the south side of the P’ungnyuri River Inlet on the east side of the Chosin Reservoir and reorganized as Task Force Faith. Following four nights of continuous attacks, and warned of dire information from reconnaissance and support aircraft, Faith received permission to organize a breakout south toward Hagaru-ni. The key component of the breakout was a convoy carrying over 600 wounded soldiers. As the convoy formed up, sporadic mortar fire landed in the assembly area and, as the lead units exited the perimeter, Communist Chinese infantry attacked, threatening to halt the breakout five minutes after it had started.Attacker: American (A, B and HQ Companies, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 31st Regimental Combat Team, Task Force Faith)

| 2023-10-09 | (D) Paul Works | vs | Dan Best | Communist Chinese win | Game always goes to the endgame. Two immobilized vehicle on the road made movement of the convoy too slow to exit six trucks. Always fund with napalm! | ||
| 2022-01-10 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | American win | The Americans were able to break the forward defenders by turn 6 carefully advancing the convoy each turn. Even so, the Americans lost 4 trucks and both armored vehicles to MTR fire. The airpower proved to be able to pin down the defenders and the Americans were able to drop one Napalm bomb with the help of the forward observer. Great scenario to learn some new rules. | ||
| 2020-05-15 | (A) Rob MacGinley | vs | Ian Willey | Communist Chinese win | The game is broken or has a particular thing that is not obvious to it The American trucks are very vulnerable and many have to exit The charge across open ground under fire is tough on the protecting infantry | ||
| 2018-11-10 | (D) Tom Kearney | vs | Alan Saltzman | Communist Chinese win | I established a line in the gully but was pulverized by fighter bombers and superior American firepower. However, it took too much time for the Americans to clear the forward enemy position and allow the convoy to pass unmolested. The rearward Chinese proved stubborn and the US failed to accomplish the mission. |
