Overview

Korea is a regimental/divisional level game of the first year of the UN Operations in 1950-51. One player commands the units of the Korean People's Army and the allied Chinese People's Liberation Army; the other player controls the Republic of Korea armed forces and the allied U.N. coalition Army containing U.S., British, Philippine, Turkish, Canadian, and Thai forces. This game was first published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #111. Included are a 22"X34" map sheet, 200 counters (units and markers) and a 12 page rulebook. Multiple historical and 'what if?' scenarios are provided, each with its own victory conditions, usually based on points gained by the KPA/PLA player for controlling certain geographical areas.
