Ilsan, South Korea, September 1985

UN forces form up
The North Koreans want to take the bridge and capture the town 
The UN defenders are hidden as best as they can. The North Koreans didn't anticipate that the South has built up so much

South Korea is in turmoil! The military rulers have previously sent their own army against their own people. North Korea has thus decided to try and liberate their breather.
UNMAC has activated their call ups,
25th Commonwealth Brigade is responding but as so quickly only light armor. Mainly RAR flown in from Australia


North Korea: 
T-62
 IS 2 tanks,
 Su-152s,
 T-34/85
(Soviet cards)
North Korean Naval infantry brigade.
T-55
PT-76
BTR-152
(PAVN)
Soviet Shock tank Battalion
T-80 HQ x1
T-80 x3
T-64x3
BMP-3×2



I've based the idea on this action on my own time having lived in Ilsan, Koyang-shi, Kyoungkido South Korea from 1996-99.

Turn 1 The Communists charged into the town, holding Changbalsan hill as an objective and contesting the town Hall.
The Communist armor has been extremely aggressive. 
UMAC forces on turn 1 slowly advanced feeling out the Communist armor. The Soviet new armor Battalion sprung forth and using theor sped were able to support the drive on the bridge over the Han River. 

Turn 2: The North Korean infantry were engaged by 6RAR who then poured accurate machine-gun fire. The Australians took heavy casualties but inflicted some on the North Koreans with their engineers using flamethrower.
The Queens Dragoon Guards rushed into the town square but were engaged by T-34/85and BTR-50 heavy machine-gun fire knocking out one squadron. While the Zil -2 57mm battery was knocked out, and the North Korean 82nd MM mortar squadrons was pinned, they continued to hold their position. The Australian gun buggies were also pinned down by machine-gun fire from the T-64 squadron.

Turn 3:
The Soviets smash through all over the battlefield. Their new tanks are no match for the Pattons, however no tank is ever invincible.
The bridge is recaptured by UNMAC units, whole the British take more casualties from the T-62 Battalion using theor missles to take out the noodle shop the troops had been sheltering in.
A new Bradley falls victim but the squadr9n secures the bridge.
Soviet recce did well in advancing but were halted by the Queens Dragoon Guards. 6 RAR then take a foothold on Changbalsan.
Eventually 2 gunbuggies take out a T-80 and a T-64 from the rear.
However, the Communists hold the town hall
