MacArthur's War
Starting with the Chipyong scenario, you quickly realize what Macarthur was facing. Fiercely focused communist Koreans that fought with passion and reckless abandon. By early 1951 , when this scenario takes place, Macarthur had already given the orders to the 8th army to retreat and was pressuring President Truman to use Nuclear bombs! Its a great background for the Chipyong scenario, simply hold out with your ROK troops until you calvary arrives 3/4 of the way thru this 43 turn melee. The theory is simple, but in practice, almost impossible. Historically, the ROK was very much the aggressor, but you will have to be the judge. The other scenarios are just as tough; take note of the Chosin Reservoir scenario-- it is extremely tough.
Like all of SSG's wargames, this one does not disappoint. The Battlefront game system is here in all its glory. This is a must have for all wargamers, especially anyone who wants a challenge!
