Disaster at the Kum River Line - Korea (A Warhorse Campaign Series Modification)

[Kum River, Korea]:[H2H]:[HIS]:[BB]. In a desperate attempt to stop the North Korean forces from reaching the major town of Taejon, a strategic road hub in South Korea, the American 24th Division established blocking positions on the south bank of the river Kum. The bridges were demolished and along the river the 19th US Regiment, led by Colonel Guy Meloy dug in.The Regiment was supported by 4 batteries of 105mm guns of the 52nd and 13th field artillery battalions and 2 batteries of 155mm guns of the 11th field artillery battalion. At 3.00 PM on the 16th of July, after an uneasy day where the American soldiers could clearly hear the North Korean preparations a NK plane dropped a bright flare indicating the start of the river crossing by the North Korean 3rd Division. [NOTE: the NK player is NOT allowed to load tanks or truck on the crewed boats and cross them over the river. Note 2, this is a "dawn"scenario, when turn > 6, there is an increasing chance for daylight]
