It’s ASLOK time already?!Rally Point #15: Special Study I of the Korean War will be released on 8/23/18. That's tomorrow.
Understood now.I wasn't playing anything from Forgotten War. I was playtesting for DTF.
This is good news, Evan. I've not played any FW scenarios yet but the Korean theme is cool. I think having more (daytime) scenarios out there, and maybe some more Korean-theme geoboards, would be a good boost in the right direction.Rally Point #15: Special Study I of the Korean War will be released on 8/23/18.

Iduuno - Third Base!No, I have not played any scenario from Forgotten War because I haven't opened it yet because I am still sorting counters but had to stop that because I am waiting for Armies of the Oblivious but it has not been reprinted yet (ask MMP why not because I don't know) and I want to know how it might affect my sorting scheme.
Is that a good answer?
I would also recommend First Bayonet Charge (included in FW) for the same reasons. Yes, it does include Deep Snow, however for the special rules -averse, I would remind them that quite a large number of the battles during the Korean War were fought in conditions other than 'EC are moderate with no wind'.If you are looking for a scenario from FW which you can play to say you played one, I suggest the Grist Mill [208]. It is small, infantry only with relatively few special rules. The Americans set up thinking, "can this be won?" but it is trending toward favoring the Americans a bit. I think it may be easy to set the North Koreans up wrong, and it should be nearly even.

Don,This is good news, Evan. I've not played any FW scenarios yet but the Korean theme is cool. I think having more (daytime) scenarios out there, and maybe some more Korean-theme geoboards, would be a good boost in the right direction.
The boards that come in FW will be useful for mountainous terrains like Italy.Don,
I designed eight of the ten scenarios in this pack and I will say that most of the existing geo-boards are not well-suited to Korea. If Korea is to grow among scenario designers, there will definitely need to be a few more boards.
There are some in the works...This needs a HASL to go with it. So hand is raised.
Little interest in generic ww2 geo scenarios, even less for a conflict I have less interest in.
We have used two of the boards to represent another mountainous battlefield for our scenario pack - we were VERY pleased with the terrain now available.The boards that come in FW will be useful for mountainous terrains like Italy.
Evan, I agree that outside of the 4 new Korean theme boards that came with FW, the remaining geoboards don't look much like Korea. Certainly, some of them can be pressed into service, just as the original 'springtime in France' geoboards were pressed into service for other far off places (ie. Russia). Korean terrain was unique, but it is possible to prepare such Korean theme boards that could provide better coverage, and could even possibly be used for other theaters (ie. Italy). So, yes, we need more of these kinds of boards and I've spent some time preparing several sketches for eventual consideration by MMP. It would be great if an AP or some such release, included some additional Korean terrain - namely a Korean village, some valley or more open plain terrain, to name a couple ideas.Don,
