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

MacGalin · #1 July 2nd, 2006, 02:03 PM

I wonder if anybody would be interested in small campagin about 2nd korean war (circa 2008), played from north korean POV?

For now it's just an idea... but i'm working on it.

If anyone has any ideas how the story should go, or about what core forces should be used, i'll be waiting for your posts here.

For now my idea of the core is a company of T-62Ms with permanently attached tank raiders infantry.

... and BTW, anyone knows why are T-62MVs armed with much older gun than T-62Ms?

Yes I would be interested in that.

T-62 in 2008, sounds like a turkey shoot for M1A2�s

Or is it one of these �quantity has a quality all of its own� situations?

Well, i'm not saying that it's going to be easy

In view of today�s missile tests perhaps I spoke too soon.

North Koreas army is nominally over 1 million strong. But most "soldiers" are actually just construction workers. (nearly all construction work is done by the army). I mean that N.Korea militarly is not as big of a threat as the numbers show.

I'm not familiar with their AT capability what do they have in their OBB capable of taking out Abrams tanks? because you mentioned missiles.

In face-to-face, T-62 has (small) chance to kill K1A1 Tank. It can kill older K1s without too much problems.

To kill Abrams, only cjance is to shoot from side or rear.

The missiles I was referring to were their recent surface to surface ballistic missile tests (more like Pershing or SS-20 than ATGM).

ok, are those modeled in the game?

I don�t know if they are or not.

What I meant was:

My initial post suggested that it might be a turkey shoot given the timeframe and relative merits of the platforms. Therefore it might not attract much interest.

However the recent missile test firings put Korea back on centre stage and that therefore interest levels would be higher.
