I don't remember who started it (HOB? KE?) but there was a draft Korean War module out there from a long time ago. I friend of mine contributed some research when he was stationed in Korea in the 1990s. I wasn't sure if any of the scenarios made their way into the official module.

I think you are referring to KE ties....the link then is to Mike Reed (KE/TOT)...but there are no scenarios from that exact tie in. There are MM (PuP Pack legacy) scenarios in FW.

A quick matchup with FW and MM 07 Pack on the Scenario Archive shows five:
Super Bazooka
Hey, that ain’t a ROK
Bullets for Breakfast
The Grist Mill
A Line too Thinly Held

Just learned about the Kinetic Energy origins on this morning's commute, listening to Mr. Katz being interviewed on the Two Half-Squads podcast (from Dec 2017). A very interesting interview and well worth one's time to give a listen.
I'm looking forward to maybe playing a KWASL scenario at the next Fredericksburg ASL get together.

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Katz at WO, even haven breakfast with him on Saturday morning. He is really good guy to meet.

I've seen that issue of Critical Hit magazine appear periodically at eBay, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. Thanks for the pointer.
Edit: Found and ordered a copy. I'm looking forward to trying the scenario.

There are several scenarios upcoming that will be featuring the 5th Marines, both from MMP as well as LFT.

I've heard tell that much is in the works, and am really looking forward to seeing it released. I'm excited enough about KWASL that I ordered another volume of "U.S. Marine Operations in Korea" (I've read two volumes, previously).

Many of the scenarios designed by myself come from the volume dealing with actions from Inchon to Seoul.
But I also know that some are from the efforts of the KWASL development crew who deserve a huge amount of credit for the module.

Hey dj... SEMPER FI!

What 5th Marines managed around Pusan (as compared with the performance of Army units), certainly is one of the Corp's finest moments (not unlike the contrast between the USMC at Chosin with the 8th Army at Ch'ongch'on River). The Marine in me would love to see a "Fire Brigade" pack/HASL depicting this exemplary chapter in the Corp's history.
Anyway, a most hearty thank you to you, and Andy Hershey, and Ken Katz and all the others who contributed to this module. I am really looking forward to trying the Korea rules and to seeing what is coming next.
Finally, a Hearty Semper Fi! to you sir.

The Grist Mill is under the AAR section. Also there are playings reported on ROAR.
