Korean War II - from N.K. PoV. Anybody interested?

[Smersh]

Realistically I don't think China or Russia would risk world war over N.Korea. But you can stretch reality in a fictional-campign.

The idea of an NKPA campaign would be interesting.

And about Allies, you can always stick to the rethoric of the Axis of Evil...

Well, for now i dont have time to finish it... I've got two campagins waiting to be finished (NKPA and WW3 '49 )

Working sucks, i tell ya [But at leeast the money ar good ]

The campagin would probably require modified oob - north korea would need new RPGs, new tanks, new atgms... and so on to be a challenge for the player.

Maybe you won't have to bother with it, if you can use 'captured' Russian weaponry all through a campaign. That would give you units from the Russian OOB under the NK flag and leadership (and morale etc.). I know this isn't a problem for scenarios, but maybe the campaign mechanism prevents this, I have no idea.

As for allies, er... lessee... Chinese infils? Rogue Russian local military? Iranian irregulars?

Consider this.
One of the popular conspiracy theories in South Korea is that Japan helps North Korea because it is in the best interest of Japan to keep Korea divided. So maybe a rogue splinter group of Japanese "volunteers" with high tech weaponry show up in the Peoples Army. Farfetched perhaps, but it could be a shock to the a player used to the diet of T-62 mods and inaccurate artillery.

I've been hearing loosely about that for some years, yes, but I didn't know it was an actual "conspiracy theory" in the public mind.
Now given the credibility of a full-fledged conventional war between North and South in the near future , I don't see why you should rule the Japanese element out!

Possibly as some kind of tech transfer though, I don't think there would be that many 'volunteers'. Even high-tech weaponry may be a bit showy, but the most plausible elements (cash, intel, diplomacy) aren't in the scope of the game.

The worst conspiracy theory ever!
