Korean War: Pusan Perimeter

[Matt W]

I have to admit that I have never seen anyone throw a real tantrum at the table. I had one opponent (playing the old AH Afrika Korps) lose because he "had never gotten that far before and did not know what to do", but he was laughing when he said it.

We did have one team game of War in the East where the German forces were badly managed and our Soviet hordes managed to break through during the first winter and surround Army Group North and that commander decided to quit (in reality "defect"). The whole play was an enjoyable romp for everyone and a learning experience for the commander of Army Group Center.

Finally in one game of Strategy I during college I paired up with another player who was the political leader of our country (it was a fictional scenario) while I ran the military side of things. After he had provoked four other countries into an alliance against us I deposed him (again laughingly) and we all agreed to beat up on another player, as is the way of those games....
