DIR Return to: The Final War
*****************************************************
#Post#: 18--------------------------------------------------
The China-Korea-Japan Theater of Operations
By: Thorgrimm Date: March 9, 2013, 8:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The initial release for the Final War series of games will be
based in this region of the planet.
The three scenarios that are scheduled for inclusion are as
follows:
1: The Korean Unification War. This scenario will introduce the
basic concepts such as supply, movement, and combat. This
scenario is a learning scenario, and as such is not balanced.
GPI recommends that the two players take turns playing the South
Korean side and the player who holds out the longest should be
declared the winner. Without American intervention in the
Gunny\'s world, South Korea has no chance to survive.
2: The Invasion of Japan: This scenario covers the Chinese
Invasion in 2061, covering the invasion of Japan, and the ambush
of the Pacific Fleet that opened the door to the Chinese
invasion of the North American Continent. This scenario will
introduce airpower, seapower, amphibious, and airborne
operations. While adding the supply, movement, and combat rules
needed to cover these operations.
3: The Americans Return: This scenario will add the rules for
politics and WMD usage. This scenario will use all previous
rules sections and the addenda to use the intermediate and
advanced rules in the previous two scenarios will be included.

As a progress report the rules are being written and the Orbats
have been pretty well firmed up for the Korean Unification
Scenario.
Below is the current Turn Order. Any constructive criticism, or
questions and suggestions are heartily welcome.
Complete Sequence of Play
For the sake of completeness the entire turn sequence is listed
here. Each scenario will have it's specific turn sequence
outlined in its section of the rules.
Weather Phase (Advanced Game Only)
The player with the initiative last turn rolls the die to
determine the weather. If it is game turn 1, the player with the
scenario assigned initiative rolls the die.
Joint WMD Planning Phase (Advanced Game Only)
The players allocate any nuclear, biological, or chemical
warheads they wish to use in future game turns.
Planning Phase
1) Reinforcement/Replacement Segment
-> The players check the scenario's reinforcement/replacement
schedule to determine if they recieve any
reinforcements/replacements this turn.
2) Deployment Segment
-> The reinforcements recieved in the
Reinforcement/Replacement Segment are now placed on the map. Any
replacement points recieved may be allocated to the assets
located in any Army Group/Front Supply Heads Awaiting
Replacements Box.
3) Army Group/Front Supply Head Placement Segment
-> All players place their Army Group/Front Supply Heads at
the same time. The player with the initiative may choose to wait
until all other players have placed their Army Group/Front
Supply Heads before placing his. If it is game turn 1, the
player with the scenario assigned initiative goes last, if he
wishes.
4) Army Group/Front Supply Head Status Segment
-> All players determine if their Army Group/Front Supply
Heads currently on the map are in supply or isolated.
5) Asset Transfer Segment
-> All players can transfer assets from their combat
headquarters to a nearby Army Group/Front Supply Head, as long
as the combat HQ is within the primary or secondary LOC of the
supply head in question.
6) Army Area of Operation and Attachment Segment
->During the Attachment Segment the players must designate
each Army’s Area of Operation and any attachment adjustments
that may be needed.
Political Phase (Advanced Game Only)
1) Unrest Determination Segment
-> All players will determine the unrest level in the nations
he controls. Then use the Revolt table to determine if any
cities, and/or nations, they control revolt.
2) Diplomacy Segment
-> All players, in reverse Initiative order, will resolve any
diplomatic actions they have the DAP's (Diplomatic Action
Points) for.
3) Declaration of War Segment
-> All players, in reverse Initiative order, and if they have
the requisite Diplomacy level, may declare any of their allies
active and in the war on their side.
Air Phase (Intermediate & Advanced Games Only)
1) Air Allocation Segment
-> All players secretly allocate all of their available air
combat HQ's to either an air sector, or an airfield holding box.
Within each air sector, air squadrons are assigned to one of
three levels, Air Superiority, Interception, or Ground Strike.
Within each level air squadrons are assigned to a mission
package.
2) Air Combat Segment
-> Combat between opposing mission packages within each air
sector occurs. The order of resolution in each air sector is as
follows: Air Superiority, Interception, and then Ground Strike.
3) WMD Strike Segment (Advanced Game Only)
-> In initiative order the players resolve any WMD warhead
strikes that have been allocated for this game turn. Any
Contamination markers that are required are placed on the map.
Naval Phase (Intermediate & Advanced Games Only)
1) Naval Air Segment (Advanced Game Only)
-> In initiative order the players move their naval air
squadrons which attempt to to spot and engage enemy naval units
in combat.
2) Naval Operations Segment (Advanced Game Only)
-> This segment consists of an indefinite number of
Operational Actions, which are resolved in initiative order; in
which the players perform an Operational Action. The players
alternate in this manner until all players have passed. An
Operational Action is performed as follows:
-> A) The active player rolls a die and consults the
Initiative Table.
-> B) The active player performs the number of Operations
equal to the result obtained in step 'a' above. After these
Operations are performed a new Operational Action begins.
3) Amphibious Assault Segment (Intermediate & Advanced Games
Only)
First Action Phase
1) Army, Corps, Army Group/Front Supply Head Supply Level
Determination Segment
-> All players determine the supply levels of their
non-isolated Army, Corps, and Army/Group Supply Head levels of
supply.
2) Supply Point Distribution & Expenditure Segment
-> The Players announce their supply point distribution and
determine their supply expenditures.
3) Initiative Segment
-> Each player determines his Initiative Level (the total
number of supply points spent, divided by 10, and rounded down).
The players are assigned an initiative order based on the
players Initiative Level. This will be the players Initiative
Order to resolve their actions throughout the game turn. Any
ties are broken by the roll of a die.
4) Operations Segment
-> This segment consists of an indefinite number of
Operational Actions, which are resolved in initiative order; in
which the players perform an Operational Action. The players
alternate in this manner until all players have passed. An
Operational Action is performed as follows:
-> 1) The active player rolls a die and consults the
Initiative Table.
-> 2) The active player performs the number of Operations
equal to the result obtained in step 'a' above. After these
Operations are performed a new Operational Action begins.
5) Asset Reassignment Segment
-> Any Army Group/Front Supply Heads that are holding assets
can reassign those units to any combat HQ that is within their
command structure and in their primary or secondary supply
range.
6) Fatigue Recovery Segment
-> Any Combat HQ's that have not spent any Action Points in
the Operations Segment may remove any fatigue levels they may
have accumulated up to this point.
7) Marker Segment
-> All players remove the commitment markers from their
Supply Heads. Also, any depots that are no longer isolated may
have their isolated marker removed. Any non-isolated Supply Head
may be removed from the map for placement in a future turn.
Second Action Phase
The players repeat the sequence of the first action phase
exactly.
Air/Naval Return Phase (Intermediate & Advanced Games Only)
All air units return to their airfield holding boxes and any
naval units at sea move to a friendly port.

Below is the NKPA orbat:
Comments on the NKPA Forces:
The armored regiments were equipped with Soviet-made T-34 tanks.
South Korea had no tanks or much in the way of anti-tank
weapons. Of the infantry divisions, the 1st through 7th Infantry
Divisions were "first-line" while the 10th, 13th, and 15th
Infantry Divisions were "second-line" or reserve. North Korea
used its "first-line" divisions in the attack on South Korea
while using the "second-line" units for internal security. Front
line strength of the NKPA on 25 June 1950 was approximately
135,000 men. The NKPA was supported by a small North Korean air
force and an even smaller, less effective navy.
Moreover, Kim Il Sung, the North Korean Premier, could be
confident that his army, a modest force of 135,000, was superior
to that of South Korea. Koreans who had served in Chinese and
Soviet World War II armies made up a large part of his force. He
had 8 full divisions, each including a regiment of artillery; 2
divisions at half strength; 2 separate regiments; an armored
brigade with 120 Soviet T34 medium tanks; and 5 border
constabulary brigades. He also had 180 Soviet aircraft, mostly
fighters and attack bombers, and a few naval patrol craft.
The North Korean ground forces-the NKPA and the Border
Constabulary-in June 1950 numbered about 135,000 men. This
estimated total included 77,838 men in seven assault infantry
divisions, 6,000 in the tank brigade, 3,000 in an independent
infantry regiment, 2,000 in a motorcycle regiment, 23,000 in
three reserve divisions, 18,600 in the Border Constabulary, and
5,000 in Army and I and II Corps Headquarters.
The North Korean infantry division at full strength numbered
11,000 men. It was a triangular division composed of three rifle
regiments, each regiment having three battalions. The division
had as integral parts an artillery regiment and a self-propelled
gun battalion.
By June 1950, the 105th Armored Regiment had become the 105th
Armored Brigade with a strength of 6,000 men and 120 T34 tanks.
Its equipment-tanks, weapons, and vehicles-was Russian-made. The
brigade had three tank regiments-the 107th, 109th, and 203d-each
with 40 tanks, and a mechanized infantry regiment, the 206th,
with a strength of about 2,500 men. A tank regiment had three
medium tank battalions, each having 13 tanks. The battalions
each had three tank companies with 4 tanks to a company. Tank
crews consisted of five men. Battalion, regimental, and division
tank commanders each had a personal tank. The 105th Armored
Brigade was raised to division status in Seoul at the end of
June 1950 before it crossed the Han River to continue the attack
southward.
The artillery support of the North Korean division in 1950
closely resembled that of the older type of Soviet division in
World War II. A division had 12 122-mm. howitzers, 24 76-mm.
guns, 12 Su-76 self-propelled guns, 12 45-mm. antitank guns, and
36 14.5-mm. antitank rifles.
North Korea began the war with about 180 aircraft, all supplied
by Russia. Of these about 60 were YAK trainers; 40, YAK
fighters; 70, attack bombers; and 10, reconnaissance planes. The
North Korean Navy had approximately 16 patrol craft of various
types and a few coastal steamers reportedly equipped with light
deck guns.

All designations are supposition based on what few facts are
available on the KPAF. The first five Regiments were known as
the "1st Aviation Division" according to some sources.
Regimental designations are unknown. MiG units were withheld
from combat by Kim Il-Sung from late 1952 on until near the end
of the war, and may never have flown combat as unitary
formations of Korean pilots and aircraft. A total of around 125
MiG-15 aircraft were known to be in Korean hands at the end of
the war.

Soviet formations were made up of Para (element) of two
aircraft; two Pary made a Zveno (flight); two to three Zvena
made an Eskadra (squadron). Three Eskadry made a Polk
(Regiment), two to three Polki a Diviziya (division), and two or
more Divisii, a Korpus or Corps. Combat was normally fought by
two or three Pary in a group; Squadrons would also cross attach
Zvena when needed.
The AA divisions had a variety of weapons, 96 85mm and 84 37mm
guns. The units at that time appear to have been organized into
four gun batteries and twelve gun battalions. The 87th was
probably understrength.
The searchlight regiments each had 36 projectors, organized as
per the weapons in four projector batteries and twelve projector
battalions.

Gav, it seems we are on the same page bud. I was also thinking
of AC types, but left that little detail out, to see if you
would suggest it.
Each AC Model will have 4 numbers and a letter code designating
the Aircraft as All Weather or Night.: #/#s-t/#/#/LC. If the AC
has no Letter Code then it is only capable of flying in good
weather during daylight missions.
If the Bombing Strength has an 's' or 't' that strength is
strategic with an 's', or tactical with a 't'. If the number
does not have a letter designation it can be used in either
strategic or tactical missions.
If the Air to Air Strength has an '\' in it then double the
A-t-A strength in combat against aircraft performing Strategic
Bombing Missions. These numbers will depend on the AC Model
being looked at.
These represent: Range/Bombing Strength/Air to Air
Strength/Electronic Warfare Strength.
Each size Point that a Squadron has is equal to 1 flight of 4
aircraft.
As an example the stats of the F-86A Sabre are as follows:
8/2t/2/0/-.
Example:
An Escort Mission has been formed with the following units:
27th Fighter-Escort Group
522nd Fighter-Escort Squadron (F-86A Sabre)
Stats; 8/2t/2/0/
Strength; ooo ooo
523rd Fighter-Escort Squadron (F-86A Sabre)
Stats; 8/2t/2/0/-
Strength; ooo ooo
524th Fighter-Escort Squadron (F-86A Sabre)
Stats; 8/2t/2/0/
Strength; ooo ooo
So the Escort Mission consists of 18 Size Points of F-86A
Sabres. To determine the combat potential of the mission you
would take the number of size points and multiply it by the stat
that is relevant to the type of combat being performed, in this
case Air to Air, so the A-t-A stat would be used. The basic
A-t-A Combat Potential of the Escort Mission would be 36.
This number can be further modified by weather and other
modifiers.
EDIT: Changed the Bombing definition.
EDIT 2: Changed the A-t-A Definition.
Comments are welcome. :)
Cheers, Thor

The Republic of Korea Orbat:
REPUBLIC OF KOREA
In the early summer of 1950 the 1st, 7th, 6th, and 8th
Divisions, considered the best in the RoK Army, held positions
along the 38th Parallel in the order named, from west to east.
Beyond the 1st Division, at the extreme western end of the line,
was the 17th Regiment of the Capital Division on the Ongjin
Peninsula.
The other four divisions were scattered about the interior and
southern parts of the country, three of them engaged in
anti-guerrilla activity and training in small unit tactics. The
Capital Division's headquarters was at Seoul, the 2nd's at
Ch'ongju near Taejon, the 3rd's at Taegu, and the 5th's at
Kwangju in southwest Korea.
The South Korean divisions along the Parallel were equipped,
mostly, with the United States M1 rifle, .30-caliber carbine,
60-mm and 81-mm mortars, 2.36-in. rocket launchers, 37-mm
antitank guns, and 105-mm M-3 howitzers.
The howitzers had been used in the U.S. infantry cannon
companies in World War II. They had a shorter barrel than the
regular 105-mm M-2 howitzer, possessed no armor shield, and had
an effective range of only 7,250 yards (8,200 yards maximum
range) as compared to 12,500 yards for the 105-mm M-2 howitzer.
There were five battalions of these howitzers organized into the
usual headquarters and service companies and three firing
batteries of five howitzers each. The 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, and
8th Divisions each had a battalion of the howitzers.
A sixth battalion was being formed when the war started. Of 91
howitzers on hand 15 June 1950, 89 were serviceable. The South
Korean armed forces had no tanks, no medium artillery, no
4.2-in. mortars, no recoilless rifles, and no fighter aircraft
or bombers.
The divisions engaged in fighting the guerrillas in the eastern
and southern mountains had a miscellany of small arms, including
many Japanese Type 99 World War II rifles.
