The Korean War June 1950-May 1951 is a detailed wargame simulation that drops you into the midst of one of the most pivotal conflicts of the 20th century. Designed by Joseph M. Balkoski, this game takes you through the first year of the war, from the initial North Korean attack to the dramatic UN-forces invasion of Inchon and beyond. With a scale of 7.5 miles per hex and each turn representing a month, you'll be immersed in the strategic decisions that shaped the war. As a game for 1 to 2 players, you can expect a playtime of anywhere from 2 to 15 hours, depending on your level of engagement and the complexity of the game rules. With mechanics like dice rolling, grid movement, and zone of control, you'll need to think tactically and strategically to outmaneuver your opponent. Published in 1986, this classic game remains a challenging and engaging experience for fans of modern warfare and wargames.
