Paper Wars 113: Inchon, MacArthur’s Gambit

This two-player game simulates the daring attack by the United Nations’ X Corps against the port of Inchon and its subsequent advance on Seoul in September 1950. The operation resulted in the liberation of that capital city and the severing of the lines of communication to the North Korean units fighting around the Pusan Perimeter. As a result, virtually the entire North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) in the south was destroyed, allowing UN forces to occupy all of North Korea but for a few mountainous enclaves. Unfortunately, one of the indirect results of this dramatic victory was Red Chinese intervention, once more throwing the UN into full retreat. Scales.
