Description

For the first time, an Advanced Squad Leader module steps outside of the traditional World War II era to bring you Forgotten War, covering the Korean War of 1950-1953.

New rules in Forgotten War cover Steep Hills (reflecting the difficulties of movement and combat in the rugged Korean terrain); Bayonet Charges; Proximity Fuses; and enhanced Air Support featuring Tactical Air Control Parties, airborne Forward Air Controllers, and the jet-propelled aircraft of the era such as the F-80C Shooting Star and the F9F-2 Panther.

Forgotten War includes several new nationalities, each with its own distinct characteristics, and expands some existing nationalities. Forgotten War nationalities include the following:

• United Nations (U.N.) Forces:
  • R.O.K. (Republic of Korea);
  • O.U.N.C. (Other United Nations Commands), representing forces from such countries as Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Thailand, and Turkey, all of whom contributed to the U.N. effort;
  • U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps;
  • British and Commonwealth (Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand) forces

• Communist Forces:
  • K.P.A. (Korean People's Army);
  • C.P.V.A. (Chinese People's Volunteer Army)

• seven countersheets
• four 8" x 22" maps (80-83)
• sixteen ASL scenarios
• Chapter W rules for the Korean War
• Chapter H rules for American, Commonwealth, O.U.N.C., R.O.K., K.P.A., and C.P.V.A.
• two chapter dividers
• one box and lid

Forgotten War is not a complete game. Ownership of the Advanced Squad Leader Game System is required for play.
