Massive Chosin Reservoir Wargame

Рет қаралды 53,235

Жыл бұрын

This week on Little Wars TV, we remember "The Forgotten War" with a massive 12' long tabletop wargame of the Chosin Reservoir. In November 1950, a stunning Chinese surprise attack hit the 1st Marine Division deep in the snowy mountains of North Korea. Surrounded and heavily outnumbered, the Marines fought their way out the trap and retreated south. But will our Marine players be able to do the same?
We visit the National Museum of the Marine Corps and talk to Deputy Museum Director David Vickers about the history of this iconic moment in Marine Corps history. Then, we fight our wargame in the museum lobby using 10mm Pendraken miniatures. It's a massive, 8-player wargame covering the first week of the Chosin Reservoir at operational scale!
Our thanks to the museum staff for hosting this fantastic event and allowing us to share our love of historical wargaming with the public. Learn more about the National Museum of the Marine Corps and plan your visit here: www.usmcmuseum.com/
The miniatures in today's wargames are 10mm scale figures from Pendraken's extensive Korea range. You can find their Korean War miniatures available here: www.pendraken.co.uk/korean-wa...
Finally, we want to wish all of our American viewers a happy Memorial Day holiday. It's a day to remember the fallen, not just from Korea, but across every war fought in American history.

@@TheDaneViking In wargaming these are called bases. Most miniatures are mounted on their own cast on base, but they really aren't that good for gaming as they tend to be very small while the miniature itself, especially in the larger scales, are over balanced or top heavy. That means that they are very easy to knock over, so wargamers tend to mount miniatures to another, larger, base. Frequently they are called "stands" because that's what they do- help the figure to stand. In smaller scales, like 15mm, 10mm, 6mm, and even 2/3mm (!) they are essential because they are so small and fiddly to pick up and move (good luck moving a 3mm infantryman!). Better still, you can mount several figures to that stand and create a miniature diorama which turns a handful of indiviual figures into a military unit like a team, squad, or an even larger tactical grouping. LWTv mentioned that their stands were company scale, so each stand with handful of individuals soldiers represent a company of actual troops- say 60 to 200 or so men (depending on how depleted they are) and several armored fighting vehicles. That allows you to take say 30 10mm models, put them on several stands, and call them a battalion. As for getting these stands, you can fashion them yourself out of cardboard, plastic card, or another stiff material, or you can purchase them from another company. Gale Force 9 sells quite a range of these for reasonable prices. www.flamesofwar.com/gf9online_store.aspx?CategoryID=13836 More often or not commercial wargames will tell you how you should base your armies. Major miniature lines will even include those bases with the miniatures (like say Games Workshop). Typically you paint up the models on their own and then you glue them down onto the base. Then you decorate the base with small stones/pebbles, flocking, and even other small models. If you put a some time and effort into it you'll wind up with rather impressive results!

The cool thing here with the player who played RCT-31, when revisiting the battle later, RCT-31 was often shamed for their role in Chosin. After the fact, it was actually USMC Historians who revisited the exploits of RCT-31 and even came to the conclusion that their defense, against overwhelming odds, stutter stepped the Chinese units and gave the units on the other side more time to organize and prepare. Especially looking at the units that were arrayed against RCT-31 it was a nigh impossible task to hold, but the fact they held the Chinese advance on the eastern side for five days, along with destroying the CCF 80th Division, was vital in the success of the forces making it out of Chosin. So the player for RCT-31 distracting the Chinese forces and holding units there is pretty historical and cool.

You guys should have had tootsie roles to eat while playing your game. (At least the American players). Tootsie roles were one of the few things that they could eat uncooked. Stick them in your mouth, unthaw, and then eat. Plus, they gave an energy boost from the sugar, which in -20 F (plus wind) weather, was essential. The marines quickly learned that pockets full of tootsie roles were life savers.

There are still images of the men deployed in that conflct in the HQ of the Commando Training Centre (Royal Marines) which I walked past daily when working there during a number of appointments. An interesting fact was that they deployed so quickly, many straight from leave they arrived with little or no equipment and hence were fully re-equipped from US stock - apart from the Commando Berets which the men took with them everywhere they went. Another interesting fact is the presence of a Turkish Brigade of 5000 men attached to US forces: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Brigade. This war was truly a United Nations effort of 22 participants.

He mentioned seeing a .30 cal machine gun barrel burning white hot and melting due to the amount of Chinese that were charging them. He said the gunner changed the barrel with his BARE HANDS. He said because of that, they stayed alive and were able to keep fighting. If the gun went down they would have been over run. Many many wonderful and incredible stories of bravery from my grandfather.

Some of the Commandos from Task Force Drysdale were among the first to fight themselves free of the encirclement, but upon reaching safety many of the Commandos sought out the nearest ammunition box, resupplied themselves, and turned back up the trail. The story goes that one Marine asked a Commandos why he was going back towards the reservoir. The Commando replied: "Because we're not finished with the Bastards yet." There is some great footage on KZfaq of Lt. Col. Drysdale and his Commandos being awarded Silver Stars by the USMC for their actions.
