Part 31: Obong-Ni Ridge: Turn 6

It's not that the AI reacted that differently. It's the same strategy with just a bit more push. Also, who is Jade Star?

Obong-Ni Ridge: Turn 6




Our reinforcements are now moving into line, although it will be a while before they can reach any sort of fighting position. However, I fully expect the Pershings to clean up whatever resistance remains by the time they arrive.



A Su-76 falls to a 5% accuracy M20 Bazooka shot. The Rifle Section that was cowering behind it soon gets pushed aside by BAR fire.



Meanwhile, another Rifle Section that was riding on a tank gets cut down by a Bazooka team. Did they even have high-explosive rounds for such weapons back in the Korean War?




The enemy must be getting nervous, because we experience a massive artillery barrage at the end of the turn. I don't think there are any losses, but there are going to be some very suppressed squads next turn.



My main concerns are the HMG section and RR team that got stuck in front of the smoke curtain. They probably won't last the match.

Other than that, the enemy really hasn't accomplished much, and they've lost quite a few handfuls of troops (and a few tanks to boot).
