About the game

What you do in a play session

The Korean War: June 1950-May 1951 is an operational-level wargame simulating the first year of the Korean conflict, from North Korea's initial attack to the Chinese counteroffensive. With detailed maps at 7.5 miles per hex and units representing divisions and brigades, you'll command UN, North Korean, and Chinese forces in battles blending military strategy and political decisions. The game forces you to balance military might and diplomacy — over-escalation risks disaster, but underestimating the enemy invites defeat. This remastered edition features oversized components, including a massive map and clearer counters, perfect for those wanting to dive into a wargaming classic with a fresh look. Brace for an intense experience lasting 2 to 15 hours, depending on your chosen scenario!
