Veterans Wars 2021

Last weekend our club had our Fall club convention.  We had three to five games for each session on Saturday or Sunday.  There were about 15 people attending Saturday and close to 40 on Sunday.  I thought Saturday was a little disappointing attendance wise, but a lot of people were busy (i.e. attending an old club member memorial service).  I ran my Korean War game Saturday morning and it ran very well.  Overall I think everyone had a good time.  It was good to see everyone at our latest club convention.

Cold War Commander, Korean War: Battle of Chail-li

In December 1950, the first Canadian troops arrived in Korea.  Further troops arrived in May 1951.

On May 30, 1951, Canadian forces moved into the town of Chail-li, and were quickly attacked by Chinese forces.  Due to the large Chinese attack on Chail-li, the Canadians were forced to retreat.

I have put together a Cold War Commander scenario of the battle using 10mm Pendraken miniatures.


Pendraken has Chinese and British miniatures for the Korean War, but the British hats were not correct for the Canadians.  I customized the hats to better match what the Canadians were wearing in Korea.
