"Korean War Gaming Blog" Topic

I've been bitten by the Korean War, and have started a blog that will cover my foray into gaming this conflict.

Wow, that blue font is an unfortunate choice.

Corrected! Should be much easier on the eye now!

Far superior! Will be following. Have started an interest……sigh…..

A great gaming area. I spent over 3 years in the ROK. And you are right, 10mm is definitely the way to go for ground combat. Let Pithead know you are interested in the Chinese. He was putting the support weapons on the back burner because he didn't think there was enough interest to justify the cost of expanding the line.

CS – Email sent to Pithead! As much as I like 15mm for my Cold War and modern gaming (using Force on Force/Ambush Alley), I just think I can do larger actions more justice in 10mm. Pithead does have the one pack of Chinese (mysteriously hidden under North Korean), so perhaps if a few of us started an email writing campaign it would help get more figures into production.

Or, I would be willing to participate in a Kickstarter campaign if Pithead wanted to go that route.

I think my next blog post will be about what is needed in 10mm. :)

Darryl: PM sent.

I have been avoiding this for nearly 20 years.
I have given vent to some of the internal pressure by doing 1/72 models Ground war and air war (eg I have 6 B-29's in 1/72, 1/100 & 1/144 and trying to afford a 1/48 kit) and a NKPA G-5 MTB.
I have put on several Korean war displays, (Flags, books, DVDs, uniform & equipment and models, Aerial dioramas.)

This blog may be the end of my resistance. My friend has been pushing me to use all my stuff and Crossfire rules. Crossfire works very well with infantry and games have given results very close to what I've read. Yet to try game with armour.
You can get a lot of 1/144 ready painted F-84, Mig-15s, Sea Furys, Corsairs, F-82s, F-51s. Sadly no (yet) Yak-9, La-11 or Po-2.

Could do it in 10mm.

79th – Thanks very much!!!!

deflatermouse – I hope to hell I just pushed you right over the edge, mate! :) I am going to start a one man crusade to help convince Pithead to complete their Korean War range. Perhaps the more I talk about this conflict, and doing the land war portion in 10mm, the more folks will convince Pithead that there is a market out there, albeit a small one (but no smaller than say Norwegian or Slovakian troops for WWII, which Pithead has).

Well the Korean War has see-saw campaigns and NO Nazis. (SO sick of those guys).
Loads of small scale action for all the people who do skirmish. Heavy bombes in ground interdiction role. Fighting retreats, night actions, sweeping advances, amphibious landings, loads of stuff.
I understand how it can be so uninteresting to people who would rather play tankograd.

I was even thinking to play solo. There was an old wargames illustrated issues 25 years ago with a scenario for Command Decision. Wish I bought it but sadly didn't.
