The Korean War: June 1950May 1951, Designer
Signature EditionThe Korean War:
June 1950May 1951, Designer Signature Edition, marks the return of a true
wargaming classic by Joseph Balkoski first published in 1986, faithfully
remastered and updated with this all-new, supersized edition. Hailed by many
as of the premier games covering The Korean War, this two-player operational
level simulation covers the first year of the Korean conflict, from June 1950
to May 1951. The players control ground and air forces of the United Nations,
North Korea, and Communist China. Each player's force consists of a wide
variety of units, including infantry, marines, paratroopers, armor, and
aircraft. The map is a 1:750, 000 representation of the Korean peninsula from
Pusan in the south to the Yalu River in the north. In addition to controlling
military forces, the players must make a number of political decisions that
have an important effect on the game. Above all, the UN player must strive to
keep international tensions at a minimum for the purpose of preventing World
War Three. Intense escalation and mobilization could have disastrous
consequences for the militarily-unprepared United States. On the other hand,
insufficient force applied to Korea could lead to the conquest of South Korea
by North Korean communists. This edition of The Korean War features a super-
sized map and larger counters and is another Classic Reborn! by
Compass.
