Overview:

Vastly outnumbered, the remnants of 1st Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment (the Glosters) held out in the vicinity of Hill 235, from where they continued to block the main Communist Chinese avenue of advance on Seoul. The Glosters, still under orders "to hold in place", prepared for what must be the final blow. This began on the night of 24 April, but by daybreak the last of the Glosters were still barely in possession of the hill. As the Communist Chinese launched a morning attack, a lone bugler, Drum Major Philip Buss, stood atop a rocky outcrop and sounded off the orders of Lt. Col. James Carne.
Attacker: Communist Chinese (1st and 9th Companies, 560th Regiment and 2nd Company, 561st Regiment, 187th Division)
Defender: British (A, D and Support Companies, 1st Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment, 29th Indpendent Infantry Brigade Group)

2022-01-21(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British winDan's Chinese came at me hard and fast from the north, east and west. The east group got mowed down, which allowed the British to focus on the north and west. It also opened a safe passage to the exit. At the end of Turn 5, the British exited 11 VP while the 9-2 and a 4-5-7 were locked in Melee with a CX Chinese 3-2-7. At the end the Chinese only had 7 half-squads left on the board. The British lost the 1-2-7, and 2-1/2 squads. Brutal Korean War action.
2021-06-05(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wilson British winManaged told the Chinese long enough to exit 7VP on turn 4. The remainder of the British force was all dead except for Drum Major Buss who was last seen still playing his bugle at the top of the hill as a wave of Chinese closed in on his position.
