1950 The Forgotten War
1950 The Forgotten War The titanic and volatile struggle for the Korean Peninsul is the first major land conflict of the post WW2 world. 1950 is the second volume of the 2140 game series and covers the Korean War from 1950 through 1951 at a Strategic Scale. The Communist player races for the Pusan Perimeter in an attempt to Blitzkrieg their way to victory while the UN must hold on until help arrives and then push back. Historically¸ the war devolved into a stalemate as trench warfare settled in but the game ends before the war reaches that point. Instead of a correlastion between numbers of men and Combat Strength¸ units are rated for their quality and their individual combat strength is drawn randomly (and then flipped like a coin) whenever used in combat. The game also features air formations to simulate the limited air war before the UN held complete superiority over the air. The game offers a very replayable¸ fast-moving simulatio of the first major conflict of the Cold War The unit scale for the game depends more on proficiency of a unit as compared to actual numbers. Armies¸ Corps¸ and Divisions are present¸ but the definitions differ between the nationalities. A Chinese (PRC) Army is about half the size of an American Division¸ one PRC Division being the equivalent of an American Light Division Components 140 x 0.5 counters 22 x 17 inch map Rules 2 x 8 Sided Dice are required to play the game Time Scale: 1 turn per month Map Scale: 12 miles per hex Unit Scale: Armies¸ corps¸ division Players 1-2
