My Next Project: A Poll

Commonwealth infantry were basically uniformed and equipped identically to the British, bar minor variations in headgear (Brits and Canadians wore berets, Aussies slouch hats) and winter battledress.

The South Koreans used the same uniforms as the Americans, as they had surplus WW2 issue.

Which reminds me, will you have seperate summer and winter files for the scenario like in Red Front?

I think it could certainly add a definite edge to the scen. I've heard Korean War veterans' stories of how things went to crap when winter came. BTW, what did the Red side wear for uniforms, and how should a 'generic' UN infantry unit (for a collective of the small contributors) be in appearance?

EDIT: See below

The winter in N-Korea deserves some mention in events for
this scenario...It was a brutal season and many soldiers on
the red side died because of the conditions...

Typhoon, I can't see those images for some reason. Any chance you can post as an attachment rather than an imageshack image?

It wasn't just the Communists who suffered; the first British Bde sent to Korea in the Summer of 1950 had come from Hong Kong, so was dressed in jungle fatigues. They spent the first winter in hastily cobbled together BD and camo over-smocks and it wasn't until the second winter that proper winter clothing (woolly pulleys, parkas modelled on the US issue etc) was supplied.

Patine, presumably you can now make a start on this scenario without worrying about more graphics. I'm sure you can persuade people to come up with the goods once there is a playable scenario taking shape. How are you dealing with unit allocation and placement; are you going to follow the actual OOBs of the forces involved, and have realistically timed reinforcements generated by events?

Pretty much the above-mentioned piston-powered Red aircraft (and, I think a few US piston-powered ones, too), US and Soviet/North Korean subs, a few US and Brit/Aussie carrier, and then mostly infantry (US, Australian, South African, Canadian, a few other significant contributors, a generic UN one, South Korean, North Korean, Chinese, Soviet, and maybe seperate US and Royal Marines and US, UK, and Soviet commandos). Also, there'd need to be some '50's artillery and mech. inf. for those that had it.

I have La- and Yak- series graphics; there was little external difference between a Yak-3 used in WW2 and a Yak-9P used in Korea, and the same goes for La-5's and La-9's/11's. I think the main N Korean attack aircraft were the Sturmovik, Tu-2 and Pe-2, which I also have gfx for. I'll repaint them all in post-war VDV light blue when I have time.
