Overview:
After the mauling it received during the fall of Taejon, the 24th Infantry Division was relieved on 22 July by the 1st Cavalry Division, which became responsible for blocking the Korean People's Army's drive down the main Taejon-Taegu corridor to Pusan. The 24th's men retreated through the First Team's ranks as the newly-arrived cavalrymen moved to their defensive positions. After 5 years of occupation duty in Japan, the First Team was hardly in fighting shape. Each of its three regiments had only two battalions, and neither the troops nor the officers possessed the physical conditioning required for extended combat. Nonetheless, Lieutenant General Walton Walker provided division commander General Hobart "Hap" Gay with fresh orders: "Protect Yongdong. Remember, there are no friendly troops behind you. You must keep your own back door open. You can live without food, but you cannot last long without ammunition, and unless the Yongdong-Taegu road is kept open you will soon be without ammunition."Attacker: North Korean (7th Regiment, 3rd Division)
Defender: American (1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment and 92nd AA Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division)

| 2024-12-11 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Tuomo Lukkari | American win | My first Korea scenario, and it didn't feel much different from WWII except that North Koreans (virtually identical to Russians) are attacking Americans. It's a sort of fighting withdrawal, with the North Koreans having to achieve two out of three victory conditions - one of which (exit VPs) seems almost impossible. Despite making a few mistakes, I managed to avoid getting my halftracks shot up by his tanks, and my super-powered (compared to WWII) bazookas took care of two of them. So I was ahead on VPs and building 17zL5 was still in my hands, at which point my opponent conceded. Nice scenario, though nothing special. | ||

| 2022-06-21 | (A) James Holt | vs | Chuck Payne | American win | As the North Koreans, I used a massed push up the center through the light woods. Took too long to make progress towards the first VC building. Ended up with a lot of US prisoners and despite losing two T-34s (one to a BAZ 50, and the other to a long range 37L shot from the rearmost level two hill!), I had sufficient CVP for that part of the VC. Just didn't allow myself enough time to take the buildings - and exiting MMC on foot was totally out of the question. In our debriefing, Chuck and I both believe that you load up a HS on each T-34 and run for the exit. Then worry about the CVPs and ignore the two buildings altogether. Fun scenario, as always with a Shelling design, with multiple replay possibilities. Would be a good tournament scenario as it played reasonably fast. | ||
| 2022-04-04 | (A) Indy Lagu | vs | Rob Oler | North Korean win | I attacked with the North Koreans right up the middle of the board. Rob's US had a fairly up front defence. It thought it might have been a bit too up front, but the US really has no choice. We wondered if the US tried to stand in place a _bit_ too long. Eventually, the 6ML US melted in front of the mass of NK squads. The US halftracks are deadly (24FP and 20FP), and the NK must be wary of them. The US lost both BAZ 50 by turn 3: one from an X11, and another from a CC. We wonder if the US should keep their BAZ back, since once they are gone, the NK T34/85 can roam at will. This is another _excellent_ Pete Shelling design. The KW terrain (particularly light woods) takes a bit of getting used to. I'd put this one on my must play list. |
