Description provided by Aaron Plays on YouTube:
Chosin Reservoir Campaign - Mission 1 - 27th November 1950
Fields of Fire Volume 2 - Korea 1950 - USMC v Communist Chinese Forces
The Chinese are a totally different kind of enemy. We have fairly long range firefight going on. I need some Artillery support! The Fourth Turn.
There are so many Chinese units appearing on the board. Please look and check my placements of the enemy units. The main restrictions are that the map cannot expand and where other enemy forces are. Let me know in the comments if you think they are placed incorrectly and why. 😉
In Fields of Fire Vol. II: "With the Old Breed," you pin on your captain's bars and take command of a rifle company in the 5th Marines, the most decorated regiment in the US Marine Corps. Test your mettle in three campaigns spanning World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Battle ashore in the blazing heat of Peleliu in September 1944 to discover the Japanese have changed their strategy and you are forced to dig them out of the coral ridges. Flares reveal waves of Chinese pouring over the rugged mountains of the Chosin Reservoir, Korea, in sub zero weather in November 1950. Fight house to house in Hue City, Vietnam in February 1968. These three campaigns live on in the legends and history of the United States Marine Corps.
Fields of Fire is a solitaire game system that gives players the challenge of commanding a rifle company between World War II and Present Day. The game is different from many tactical games in that it is diceless and card based. There are two decks used to play. The Terrain Deck is based on a specific region and is used to build a map for the various missions your company must perform. The Action deck serves many purposes in controlling combat, command and control, various activity attempts. The units of the company are counters representing headquarters elements, squads, weapons teams, forward observers, individual vehicles or helicopters. A single playing is a mission and several missions from an historical campaign are strung together for the player to manage experience and replacements. A mission can be played in about 1 – 2 hours. 😁
This volume of Fields of Fire is based on three actual campaigns experienced by units of the 5th Marines of the 1st Marine Division "Blue Diamond" in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and is the second volume of the Fields of Fire series.
Wargames old and new. Throw in some board games, card games and the occasional roleplaying game. I play most games solo though some are opposed Playthroughs. The games are also explained, discussed and reviewed.
