Need to get out of the Bootcamp

RE: Need to get out of the Bootcamp
Map 160 is map 25 with a few more low hills added. Map 25 is the original. There are about 4 others that have been cleaned up. IIRC 160 is the latest version. I prefer 260 of all the Korean maps. That is a reasonably accurate (for hex based) map of the river where a Marine Regiment (most of it) stopped a North Korean Divison (What was left of it) to save South Korea.
I'm comfortable with any amount of points. I find the best games are when you can stack units down the side until all the hexes are filled. That provides enough units to allow concentration for the attack, while still being able to throw out a light screen to picket the flanks. That is so somebody like Vesku ( An old Ami-Indian word meaning 'tricksy rascal') won't sneak around behind you while your brilliant plan is unfolding/collapsing.
For 6K points you can buy an Armored Battalion with a Mech Coy and off map 155 Battalion
Or you can go cheaper with an Infantry Battalion and armored support. 2.5 K means Infantry. Infantry without arty support. That makes for a slow game. At 4 K both of us will have to make difficult buying choices. So I would say, split the difference at 5K. That will be around 100 units. For the Americans. 120 or more for the Chi-Coms. If you are uncomfortable with 100 units, that is fine. We will go with 2.5 k and play hide and seek.
Gentleman's rules say 10 to 15 percent for arty. If you want, we can make that Off Map and not count on map arty toward the limit.
