The newest is up. Thanks again to Stephen Porter and Tom DeShelter for the fine test job. The Wild Team has a new one for you.

There is a slightly easier version if this one is too tough. If you prefer that one, drop me a line.

Played first few turns, small cute scenario, human wave-type.

How i wish i had a mortar squad...

Tonight i think i'll finish it, the Chinese are coming close with high casualities, but they can afford them, as long as i can see...

Re: France and Korea - Tough Fight
 

Keep on with steady, aimed fire. I've just managed a "decisive" on turn 14. Glad it didn't stretch byond 15 turns though as I would have been down to grenades and hand-to-hand. I think I must have pinned & routed Chinese HQs with 'long' rounds in the scatter from the 105s, as I didn't see them until I was able to view map at end of game.

A deceptively challenging scenario, well done WBW!

Re: France and Korea - Tough Fight
 

Thank you guys! Good to hear that you are playing and taking on the challenge. That is most encouraging. A decisive is hard in this one, but holding the objectives can do it for you.

Its a raw, down and dirty hard fight.

A real nail biter this one. Choose your shots carefully for sure. Real pucker factor when my M16 SPAA ran dry, yikes. Lost 3 squads in the north, but held out for a DV.
The steady stream of 105mm HE is a must to survive.

Another good one WB. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good use of artillery, Skotty. It can make a difference. Glad you enjoyed it...WB

Re: France and Korea - Tough Fight
 

Ok, finally won it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Marginal Victory, the main problem was a bit of bad luck on the hit rolls, it seemed like i was shooting beans instead of bullets.
The Commies reached my southern trench with heavy casualties on my side, reserves and reinforcements stood to avoid a complete disaster.

As usual, good scenario, WBW!

Re: France and Korea - Tough Fight
 

Thank you sir! Good report. It is very tough to win. The Chinese are so many that they just keep coming. You did well, Busko.
