There's a ton of freedom to this campaign and I love it for that there are even a few sneaky strategic moves that can make the 1st Act (repelling the NORK offensive) a lot easier. While 2nd Korean War starts out hopeless, anyone who's actually played it understands that you get a bunch of great units available for purchase almost immediately. But without breaking it, you face a lot of units that are severely out-of-timeline, and you're quite simply outmatched. Dragon unless you learn how to break the campaign and win it on Turn 3, at which point it becomes one of the most fun, and probably second easiest, because it's a knock-down, drag-out IFV grindfest. Still, there is one relatively difficult battle in the landing at Seoul, and you won't get a Total Victory unless you understand how the marine landing mechanics work on the strategic map. You get everything you need to hard counter every attacking force in every sector. Regardless, the easiest campaign is hands down Busan Pocket. Each campaign can be absurdly difficult if the player missteps, and many of them can be broken or cheesed in different ways. So, regarding your question, it's a bit different depending on how you want to play. I'm not going to say I'm the most experienced campaign player here, but I've got more experience than most. Cut off from supplies in enemy territory Most of them surrendered.Hey there! Please note my flair. Heavy fighting took place at both areas as the North Koreans refused to give up.ĭespite tenacious resistance, within a week of arrival and ten days after the first fighting around the Busan perimeter, the US Task Force had secured a line running across the Korean peninsula, trapping North Korean forces between them and the ROK forces. The North Korean forces retreated from the city and the Task Force consolidated its position against North Korean counterattacks before striking out across the Korean peninsula first into Cheorwon and then into Sokcho. The South Korean general in charge of defending the pocket was told that a US Task Force would arrive in the next 3 days to reinforce the South Korean army.Īgainst all odds the ROK Army reserve forces held the line, using heavy armor and air support to throw back repeated all-out attacks from the North Korean forces, involving massive armor, air, artillery and infantry assaults.ģ days after the initial attacks on the Busan perimeter, a US Naval Task Force arrived and landed far behind North Korean lines right next to Seoul, bitter fighting ensued as the Task Force fought to secure Seoul and establish a line of supply. The North Korean surprise attack succeeded in pushing the South Korean Army all the way down to Busan, however the South Korean Army reserves established a perimeter along the areas of Uichang, Daegu and Yeongdeok and began the process of calling in new units to aid the fight. They were successful in pushing them down to the port city of Busan, where the South Korean military established a defensive pocket. North Korea viewed the uprising as a convenient opportunity to reunite the country and crossed the Military Demarcation Line their invasion caught the South Korean and American forces off guard. Due to ongoing clashes between the ROK government and its citizens, US troops stationed in South Korea were confined to their barracks. This incident spurred even more unrest in South Korea, pushing it to the brink of civil war. An army commander, panicked by the hostility of the protesters, ordered his men to open fire on the crowd. President Chun brought in riot police and the military in an attempt to quell the protests. On June 1987, university students and the people of South Korea went to the streets to protest the dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan and called for democratic reforms.
