0717_01: No Rest For the Weary - MC 03 Korea '85

Seoul, July 17th 1985 [D+32]: North Korean doctrine in the prior conflict was to bypass and besiege Seoul and then slowly advance into the city and isolation had occurred. The Chinese had a similar strategy with its mechanized forces instructed to bypass Seoul and continue south but two Chinese armies were instructed to flood into Seoul and to take the city at any cost. There was no rest for the weary ROK forces inside of Seoul but they were again shatter the plans of another foe. [Size: medium] Designer's notes: The Chinese infantry are some what of a unique unit compared to anything represented thus far in the Modern Campaigns series. They are relatively weak defensively and can suffer large numbers of casualties when used improperly but they can be a unstoppable juggernaut on the assault. They are also extremely mobile for foot infantry. The Chinese Type 80 tank was released to the press in 1987. It is widely speculated that this tank was in limited service prior to this so it has been included in small numbers in the Chinese elite 1st Tank Division in the Beijing Assault Force. Because of the Type 80's infancy in this operation it is prone to maintenance failures.
