Howdy Gents,
A gentleman recently asked me why no one had developed counters for PB/PL for the Korean War? I didn't have a good answer for him. Perhaps in the past someone has made some efforts in that direction, I don't know. His reasoning was that the new boards at Ward McBurney's site fit very well into Korean terrain, lots of hill tops and streams without fords, etc. ... There hadn't been a great technological change from WWII. Korea was largely an infantry battle, with some support here and there from armor, especially the UN forces. Seemed to me he had a good idea.
In fact his idea was so good it by extension begged the next best question which was to ask about the early Indo/Pakistani War (though perhaps that would be a better topic for AIW than PL/PB) and the Arab-Israeli war of 47-48.
I think these are good areas to explore. Do any of you have thoughts and
possible counter ideas? Scenario ideas? Rules Variants? Lots of fodder here for good articles, and of course I, Old Soldiers Magazine, is always in the hunt for those.
Thanks Much,
Tom Cundiff
