The Chosin Few

A solitaire wargame depicting the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War in November and December 1950. Players command United Nations X Corps, primarily representing the 1st Marine Division and 7th Infantry Division, while an automated system controls Chinese forces advancing into Korea and surrounding the United Nations units. The game uses a board, cards, counters, standees, cubes, and a six-sided die to resolve the battle and the encircled forces’ attempts to survive and break out.
