Beachhead line, six miles inland, INCHON, SOUTH KOREA, 17 September 1950: The 3/5th Marines landed at 0630 hours on Wolmi-Do Beach, and, at 0646, three LCUs disgorged the first tanks of Company ‘A’, 1st Marine Tank Battalion. The next day six Corsairs from the USS Sicily caught six T-34s on the road three miles east of Inchon, headed for the beachhead (one report identified the previously unknown 42nd Mechanized (Tank) Regiment, possibly disinformation supplied by a POW). They bombed and napalmed them, knocking out three but losing one plane. Some Pershings, escorting an advance platoon of Marines, destroyed the rest. At 0545 hours on 17 September, the forward platoon of ‘D’ Company, 2/5th Marines watched a column of NKPA tanks with about 25 infantry riders approach. Unseen in the early morning light, the Marines let them approach to within 75 yards before letting fly with Bazookas. A Bazooka round set the lead T-34 on fire, and the Pershings joined in along with the Battalion’s recoilless rifle teams. Within five minutes the attack was shattered; all the enemy tanks destroyed and 200 North Korean troops KIA, for only one wounded Marine. Later that day, General MacArthur, Admiral Struble and a brace of other corps and division commanders (Almond, Wright, Fox, Whitney and others) inspected the remains of the NKPA assault. The sight of 12 knocked out T-34s was a good omen for the Inchon invasion forces.
>>> You cannot have a 3-fer with a second module and that is what M-26 is. For the first time, FW scenarios ported to our large-hex Korean War maps -- none of the skinny 8" wide boards used in the set. What is used is armor on both sides - starting in 'the Bowling Alley' of Taegu in the summer of 1950 and expanding from there.
New large hex, edge-to-edge mating Korean War geo maps M1-M6 with 2024 terrain pallete!
