Overview:

The breakout from the Pusan Perimeter would not be considered successful until Eighth Army linked up with X Corps coming from the Seoul area. To help make that a reality, each regiment of the First Team received fresh troops in early September in the form of a third battalion. The 7th Cavalry Regiment received a full 800 men from Fort Benning, and while they didn't have much time to train together, they were commanded by West Pointer Lt. Col. James H. Lynch. The intended site of the linkup was the town of Osan, which had seen one of the first battles of the war three months earlier, in which U.S. units were overrun and routed. With support from C Company, 70th Heavy Tank Battalion led by Lieutenant Robert Baker, Lynch's 3rd Battalion would lead the way.
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division and C Company, 70th Heavy Tank Battalion, "Task Force Lynch")

2022-06-06(A) James Holt vs Eric Shipley North Korean winAs the Americans, I committed the majority of my forces, including all armor, on the right side; I sent a smaller force down the very left edge. I almost immediately found three of the four wire, two being on the left edge in the light woods. The left flank was slowed down tremendously, especially by a stubborn squad in the single-hex stone building. Meanwhile on the right flank, I made good progress - so good in fact that I gave in to temptation and did a bum rush up through the hill-building complex towards the rightmost exit hex. Eric did a great job in falling back and just barely getting into position to place a firelane with the MMG down the road leading to the exit road hex. He also, critically, managed to get a T-34 positioned to cover the road as well. I had more than sufficient forces ready to exit, but I was too hasty on Turn 5, and paid the price for my recklessness. I should have sent a few squads to deal with the leader-directed MMG and threaten the T-34 instead. Americans have time to win this one if they are patient. The North Koreans have a lot of territory to cover at the start and it really depends on what VC the American player goes for. This scenario has good replay value and is worth a go.

2022-04-11(D) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall American winI set up the wire and road blocks to deny easy exiting. I expected the American attack to focus on the left for exit VC, but it went more middle and right.
