Scenario description: By mid-August 1950, American forces had mustered enough strength to finally make a stand against the invading North Koreans.  Known as the 'Pusan Perimeter', U.S. Army and Marine forces docked at Pusan and then took up defensive positions in the South's remaining enclave.  One such unit was the Marine Regimental Combat Team consisting of the 5th Marine Regiment.  The 5th Marines were well-equipped with bazookas and were supported by artillery from the 11th Marine Artillery Regiment, M-26 tanks, and aircraft.*
*
In this scenario, Captain Francis "Ike" Fenton leads B Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines against a North Korean attack along the Obong-Ni ridge of the Pusan Perimeter.*
*
Note: If played against the AI, the human player should play the USMC side.*
*
Note 2: This is an upgraded version of the original scenario, with slightly larger forces on both sides, and increased from 15 turns to 25.
