The Fruit Factory*
*
Date: July 7, 2009*
*
Battle Location: Kosan-gun region, North Korea*
*
Battle Type: South Korea assault vs North Korea defend*
*
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.*
*
South Korean forces are mopping up KPA resistance near the so called Fruit Factory in the Kosan-gun region. Forces assigned to this task are not the best equipped units of the ROK army. The task is not expected to be overly difficult. But although being continuously beaten by the coalition the fighting spirit of the North Koreans remains unbroken.*

Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the South Korean side.*
