Scenario KWCA003

Small scenario just right for getting back to the game. I spaced out the NK units across both hills with good fields of fire for the HMGs and keeping the SMG platoons forward to act as speed bumps for the Marines. USMC came on from the south (and now I remember some could have entered from the east edge, but didn't turn out to be a problem) in 2 formations centered on the two senior officers. Pretty much pushed on the NO right flank while the Major lead a pinning action N towards the villages in the middle. Basically, the right held for all the game before lucky rolling turned in the Marines favor and the 60m hill was cleared and taken. From there it seemed pretty straightforward as the NK flank collapsed. By turn 15 the whole big hill was cleared and the NK was down to one Captain and a handful of troops on the smaller hill. Oddly, the 2 turns I managed to get air strikes failed to do any damage, and US artillery got the right hex every time, but only once or twice did it actually do damage, while the lesser NO guns and mortars caused the only Marine casualties. I'm the end, the only thing that kept the last two 40m hill heard was running out of turns. 52 to 9, an outstanding US victory.
