This force of 760, after having left 40 to guard an intermediate depot, arrive at the Oneida village of Oriska, some 6 miles south of the fort, the evening of the following day. Herkimer's plan was to alert Gen. Gansevoort to his presence and then coordinate an attack from the fort with his attack into the rear of St. Leger's force. St. Leger was informed of Herkimer's presence through Chief Joseph Brant's sister, Molly. Molly witnessed the gathering of the militia from her home across the Mohawk River and then sent word to St. Leger via a runner. To prevent the militia from reinforcing Gansevoort, Brant devised an ambush along the military road. Not suitable for children under 18.

Masks Required? Yes

Description: The first clash between US and North Korean troops during the Korean War was a non-event, as the North Korean armor simply drove through the US blocking position, while the NKPA infantry outflanked it. What if, however, the NKPA had, instead, launched an assault on the US position? Also, the US had armor in country. Maybe it will show up here. The Korean War was largely fought with the weapons of World War 2, but there was enough innovation-recoilless rifles, jet airplanes, more powerful tanks, to name a few-to give it its distinct flavor. Having played the popular skirmish game Bolt Action for many years, I have made an attempt here to modify the rules for better "realism" while leaving the basic structure intact. Bolt Action experience helpful, but not necessary.
