Re: Bushwhacked now available
I was about to ask the same thing. The "aussie" infantry show Brit ID tags. Was it a mixed Australian/ British force that fought this engagement Bill?

Re: Bushwhacked now available
The Brigade commander was a Brit.
From the link above:
"This force was built around the British 27 Commonwealth Brigade which, at the time, consisted of a battalion from the Royal Australian Regiment, a battalion from the Argyle and Sutherland Regiment, and a battalion from the Middlesex Regiment. Since these infantry battalions were without supporting arms or services of their own, Eighth Army attached to the brigade U.S. artillery units, engineers, and the 89th Medium Tank Battalion. This combined force, commanded by Brig. B. A. Coad of the British Army, was under the operational control of the 1st Cavalry Division, but worked as a separate task force at a considerable distance from, and without physical contact with, that division or other friendly units."
I made a version of this battle for CMAK and the same thing happens there for the country flag, but not the individual units.

Re: Bushwhacked now available
That is my error, Don. Even though the Commonwealth Brigade was mixed British and Aussie, this was the Australian force involved here.
I should have had the AUssie flag up when picking units. I had forgotten that the small flag shows the country from which unit is purchased, no matter what flag you use later.
It is challenging to say the least. I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. Nice tidbit of info, J2K. Thanks for mentioning it.

Re: Bushwhacked now available
This was a real heartburn. I got a MV at the end and lost 3 Pershings and managed to take all objectives.
Two Pershings were destroyed by a single infantry squad. Those b@stards managed to destroy them AFTER being shot at with the Pershing's main gun...
It was evident for me that going along the road would be a suicide. So I decided to take the northern hill and rush for the objectives after the northern hill is secure. The plan worked, however it vas very close and the North Korean infantry was very tough...
Artur.

Re: Bushwhacked now available
You did well, Artur. Those ambushing tanks and SU-76s can really hurt you. Too many losses will rob you of a decisive. It took me a number of plays to get to that point.
