I was in Korea in '76 as a scout jeep driver when that little tiff occurred, and a few of our officers were targetted and beaten to death by North Koreans at...
Hi, sounds interesting--As you probably know the Korean War hasn't officially ended as the North and South still haven't signed a peace treaty!! The NKPA would...
Seeing what the ROK army did in nam i think that the ROK have more than the needed amount of stomach to fight. Said that iwth Japan on the other side of the ...
At my level in the drivers seat of the scout jeep, we heard all sorts of things. Looking at the big picture, it is hard to say who would have won, but my gut...

... Thanks, everyone! I may have to get Grandiosity to cancel my order, then. I've already paid for it, but 6 weeks without them able to fulfil the order is a ...
Chris - I've contended for many years that our games have only a marginal relation to real warfare. While you can make a case that we are just playing with...
I had a bit of difficulty with getting them Warweb/Grandiosity to stock ToW, but finally got it through them. They dont usually run the charge until they are...
Crissie and Dan, Like your idea as this is similar to what we have been discussing in POA. Ranged fire rarely killed, it suppressed. Manuver and close combat...

Hi Joe, ... That's what my reading suggests also. This also relieves players of the "fiddly" (i.e.: below the level of command) choosing targets for unit by...
Hi Joe, ... I don't think of it as defending the game system. I'm a novelist by profession. For me, an AAR is simply a story where the plot outline comes...

Dan, As an accountant who enjoys surprise in my games and thus PK, I must object to your characterization regarding accountants. In fact, I think you might...
Dan, I second Bill on the objection to the characterization regarding accountants. As a huge supporter of Piquet and an accountant you need to pick another...
Dear Bill - You'll notice I had a exclamation point after the word accountant. Sometimes my humor is too dry. Brandy Station, 1863: First Step Towards...

Crissie, I don't play FOB but your thoughts are sound. I have one concern about your sequence. You wrote In this model, the frequency of harrassing fire is...
