Defend the Hill!
In this playset, U.S. Marines must defend a hill they have just fought all night for against Chinese counter-attacks. The hill is our own EXCLUSIVE Form Tech terrain piece, which measures 30 inches wide x 16 inches deep x 8 inches high and is built in a series of "steps" to allow the placement of figures and accessories.
The inevitable outcome of the growing tensions between the "free" nations who had triumphed over the Axis during the Second World War and the Communist states of China and the Soviet Union which had grown in power during the same period, erupted into war on the Korean Peninsula in 1950. America forces led the fight against North Korea's invasion of its South Korean neighbor, and was joined by many other nations, fighting under the flag of the fledgling United Nations to restore the South to its pre-war borders. In many battles, small and large, the advantage see-sawed back and forth between the two sides, especially once China joined the outmatched North Korean forces.
