Date: June 19, 2009*

Battle Location: Pyongsan, North Korea*
*
Battle Type: British advance vs North Korea delay.*
*
Description: Led by the United States an international coalition is formed to put pressure on the ever defiant North Korea. The goal is to force Pyongyang to adhere to the demand of the international community, especially regarding the suspected Nuclear Weapons program.*
*
Despite a build-up of various forces in South Korea the North Korean leadership does not find the coalition to be a credible threat, as there is some disagreement between chiefly the European countries and the United States, on top of which most of the coalition partners are more or less bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan.*
*
A number of ultimatums put forward by the coalition are ignored. Efforts by China to mediate in the crisis fail. North Korea mobilise some of its forces, but preparations are limited as the leadership in Pyongyang remains secure in the belief that the military build-up is a bluff.* 
*
On June 5 the military operations against North Korea begins.*
*
Following intense fighting in the border areas the war seems to swing the coalition way. Being steadily pushed northward the North Korean defences crumble. Desperate holding actions slow the coalition down some, but almost always end in the defending force being routed with heavy losses. At Pyongsan, a small town roughly half-way between Seoul and Pyonyang, KPA forces attempts to resist the advancing forces from the coalition. *
*
Pyongsan is perceived as an important location because it is a site where the North Koreans have built nuclear waste storages in old disused mines. British troops, mainly from the 2nd Battalion, The Rifles, are tasked with neutralising the KPA units in the somewhat sensitive Pyonsang battleground.*
