Korean Crisis
A mission pack centered on escalating tensions between North and South Korea. This is a collection of my previous scenarios which have been updated and tweaked for the current game version.
Amid heightened tensions, a North Korean infiltration attempt along the DMZ is intercepted by U.S. and ROK forces. Meanwhile in the Sea of Japan the DPRK escalates its naval activities, repeatedly violating ROK territorial waters. Intelligence reports indicate a potential threat to commercial shipping, and a joint USN/ROKN operation is devised to protect shipping lanes and ensure freedom of navigation.
In the wake of North Korean attacks on merchant shipping a retaliatory strike is organized. A joint USN/ROKN task group will conduct a raid on DPRK vessels and facilities around the strategic port city of Wonsan, a critical base for the KPN’s Eastern Fleet. The message must be clear – North Korean aggression will not be tolerated.
Refusing to back down after the raid on Wonsan, the KPN has escalated aggressive maneuvers near Incheon in a direct challenge to the Northern Limit Line, issuing warnings of ‘just resolute actions’ if their claims are not recognized. Concerned about potential disruption to vital logistics and rising public discontent, the military government of South Korea has requested an intensified effort under Operation Eastern Vigil to ensure the security of shipping lanes around the busy port.
Tensions have reached boiling point, troops are massing on both sides of the DMZ. An urgent logistical convoy, critical to U.S. and ROK operations, is nearing Busan. However, the final leg of the journey is the most dangerous as it enters the periphery of North Korea’s operational range. While attacks so far south are unlikely, recent DPRK statements have declared any surge in U.S. ‘imperialist aggressor’ forces to be an escalation. Amidst the busy civilian maritime traffic, could a dangerous threat be lurking undetected?
