I am a beginner at TOAWIII, and I need some tips for my first scenario ever, the most up-to-date version of "The Korean War 50-53". Yes, I know that even seasoned players find this scenario very challenging, but nonetheless I tried it anyway.
I am playing as North Korea against a PO United Nations. I am now in March 1951 (turn 40), and I have a solid front in the middle of South Korea from Taijun all the way northeast to south of Samch'ok. I have just retaken Taijun after weeks of bitter fighting, however the last 20 turns have been fraught with hair-tearingly useless Infantry offensives throughout the line, which has rewarded me only with advancing one hex once in a while and Communists-only casualties most of the time, even on the usually poorer South Korean units on my right flank.
Now, on the river west of Taijun, which I foolishly thought to be impassable because it had a super river. My rear is also invaded by a few SpecOps units and paratroopers, hindering my supplies. Sending my rail engineers in the back, I was flabbergasted to see that many rails were broken and that most of my South Korean hinterland near Inchon and Seoul was under possession of the UN! :surprise:
Finally, Inchon has been taken and retaken twice if only to contain any beachhead, the last time after a very long siege with artillery pouncing ceaselessly on the stack with a coordinated two-divisions assaults.
The time has come at last, I think, to retreat and set a better defensive frontline to regroup and secure my supply lines. I thought that perhaps a fortified line just south of Seoul, following the river westward then holding the moutainous range until Kangnung would be a good defensive line.
However, my question is : how to do such a retreat without turning it into a general rout?
I haved included the bitmap files of my current situation so that hopefully you'd be able to zoom in and see the current front at closer range. I can't wait to have your inputs on this, if only to say how newb I am for doing this or that. ;)
Thanks in advance!
