AAR: Tank Tracks to Pusan

[wulfir]

I used Venhola for the map but only made small villages. Today the area is heavily urbanized and it seems to include one or more US Army bases.

Again I set up the Victory Hexes as timed objectives, max points.

Also let the AI pick and deploy the defenders (the ROK forces) because I wanted a surprise. Did assume that the M24s light tanks would be fairly easy meat for the T-34s, and their probably wouldn’t be too many of them anyway...

Turns out that the T-34s are vulnerable at close range and while they can knock out M24s at range with the 85mm’s the crews would often miss and thus quickly burning through the stocks of AP ammo.

I also assumed that attacking on a narrow front would lead to me being able to face only a portion of the enemy defenders and quickly break through. It did however also mean that the AI would concentrate the bulk of the artillery against the narrow front. Felt like the 105mm guns were always firing, wrecking havoc with infantry trying to advance. Or AT-gun positions set up to stop the M24 avalanche.

I totally underestimated the AI.



Limit of the NKPA advance.
