Sometimes, Paul Rohrbaugh and High Flying Dice Games nail it by being the ONLY publisher of an important smallish battle. Paul Rohrbaugh has a really good eye for spotting these smallish semi-forgotten but significant battles. Such is the case with [thing=383743][/thing] and [thing=113940][/thing] which are the only games covering [u]in detail[/u] the truly-heroic Commonwealth (GB CA AU NZ et al) defences of (respectively) the Imjin River in Korea (for Kings of the Castle) and Kap-Yong in Korea (for King of the Hills). In both cases, the Commonwealth were totally outnumbered and were defending against the overwhelming Chinese assaults in April 1951 which threatened Seoul.

I do not own either of these games yet (that may change in future), but I am so pleased that Paul R has published them that I have given both games a provisional rating of 8 out of 10, based on (i) the subject matter of the battles which is dear to this Commonwealth gamer's heart, and (ii) due to the games adopting the correct map scale for fighting these battles.
