📖 About This Game
On June 25, 1950, the North Korean People's Army advanced in force across the 38th parallel. Its mission: the forcible reunification of the Korean peninsula.
Trevor Bender's Korea: The Fight Across the 38th recreates the opening salvos of the Korean War. It is the third volume of the C3i Combined Arms Series, after Battle for Kursk: The Tigers are Burning, 1943 and Desert Victory: North Africa, 1940-1942. The series rules have been adapted to capture the ebb-and-flow of operations as well as the rugged terrain and the logistical challenges faced by each side.
Korea: The Fight Across the 38th is featured in C3i magazine nr. 38, which also includes:
The Siege of Cadiz 1625, a solitaire design by Daniel Hernández Iniesta
Battle for Moscow, a re-issue of Frank Chadwick's classic
