Overview:

X Corps landed at Inchon on 15 September and immediately advanced toward Seoul. By the 24th, Col. Lewis “Chesty” Puller’s 1st Regiment crossed the Han River west of the city and jumped off at 0700, but without their usual armor support, as all of the heavy bridges in the area had been destroyed. Capt. Bruce Williams of Company B, 1st Tank Battalion, would have to find another way to catch up and support the attack on Hill 105. Williams took his tanks around to a ferry run by Marine engineers, who, along with a rifle platoon led by Staff Sgt Arthur Farrington, became their immediate infantry support a they deployed for action in the small hills around Seoul’s western outskirts. After a shower of grenades and automatic fire revealed the location of the North Koreans, the Marine tankers deployed.

2023-08-27(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American (USMC) winMentally tough game for both players. American firepower ruled the day as the Americans claimed all the hill hexes and then took the center village after losing two Pershings. The Americans finished with 35 CVP and the North Koreans had 22.

2021-12-11(A) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace American (USMC) winShort and sweet as my opponent conceded at the end of the US advancing fire phase of turn 2. At this point I'd captured both at start conscript squads and eliminated the ATG and crew. My total losses to that point were two M26s immobilised and I'd x'ed the bazooka. My main attack went straight through the M14 building. I found 1 factor AT minefields in N11 and M15 but managed to negotiate this with no ill effects and his HIP trap (248 with MMG) in the M14 Steeple failed to make an impact when my infantry crossed the L hexrow road. The 8-1, 458 , LMG were broken in K14 with only the upstairs level as a valid rout destination, so would have been vulnerable to surrender if they didn't rally in the next turn. Otherwise the North Korean force was intact with only about 7 points of the OB additions revealed by my calculations. I will have to try this one as the defender sometime.
