Inchon Landing - Korea (A Warhorse Campaign Series Modification)

Inchon, [Best played H2H] For two days destroyers and cruisers of Task Force 90 pounded Wolmi-do Island with 5" and 8" guns. Then on the early morning of 15th September, Marines of the third battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, climbed into their landing craft and headed for the beaches of Wolmi-do. There they met light resistance of the 226th Marine Regiment, North Korean Peoples Army. In late afternoon after the tides moved back in, the remaider of 5th Marines landed at Red Beach in Inchon. They were to link up with Chesty Puller's 1st Marines that were landing at Blue Beach at the same time. General MacArthur's Inchon Landing, code-named Operation Chromite, was a brilliant plan that turned the course of the early war in UN Forces favor. It saved South Korea from almost certain defeat at the Pusan Perimeter and routed the NKPA. Imagine their thoughts - Marines nervously fiddle with chinstraps as waves splash briskly against the sides of their Higgin's boat - racing toward Wolmi-do Island. Up to now, the only combat sounds were the incessant pounding of 5" guns from the nearby USS Gurke and other Task Force 90 destroyers. And then, KA-BOOM-SPLASH!!! A shell from a 76mm AT gun nearly hits their boat. North Koreans are fighting back now and the Inchon Landing is about to begin . . .
