KOREA '95 - The Immun Gun Goes South
Design by Charles T. Kamps
KOREA '95 depicts the first month of a war between North and South Korea as it would have been fought in the mid- to late-1990's. It presumes that, despite the historic December 1991 non-aggression pact, the North Korean regime decides that the military balance is changing in favor of the South and that any attempt to unify the country under the red banner must be initiated soon.
The North Koreans must try to win before their supply system collapses. The South Koreans must repulse the the assault and win back their territory with or perhaps without the aid of America.
KOREA 2005
- The ROK Goes North
by Lt. Colonel H. C. Meyer III, (Ret)
Tensions between North Korea and the rest of the world, including old-line ally, China, continue to worsen as crops fail the eroding North Korean economy while military adventurism impels a nuclear development program that threatens the peace in Asia. 13,000 artillery pieces are aimed at South Korea and only a continuing flow of food and oil from the United States keeps them silent... for now.
Veteran military analyst Lt Colonel H. C. Meyer III (ret) has brought his experience to bear on the possible eruption of military action on the Korean Peninsula. New units show the development of both the North and South Korean forces since the publication of KOREA '95. Six scenarios cover events ranging from US forces being over committed in Iraq to the long term position of the Rumsfield doctrine - even to Pongyang being the next target in line as the 'Axis of Evil' faces the continuing Coalition crusade for collective global security.
"KOREA 95/2005 is not only one of the best wargames I have played but it is probably the best wargame about a future Korean War. ...the multitude of scenarios make this game really replayable and each scenario can be played within an evening... a nail biter for both sides as the South Korean constantly fears... a North Korean breakthrough and the North trying to beat the clock. ... a simple, nice flowing system" Terrence Co, in Paper Wars #63.
