Forgotten War: The Korean War (1950-1953)
For the first time, an Advanced Squad Leader module steps outside of the traditional World War II era to bring you FORGOTTEN WAR, covering the Korean War of 1950-1953.
New rules in FORGOTTEN WAR cover Steep Hills (reflecting the difficulties of movement and combat in the rugged Korean terrain); Bayonet Charges; Proximity Fuses; and enhanced Air Support featuring Tactical Air Control Parties, airborne Forward Air Controllers, and the jet-propelled aircraft of the era such as the F-80C Shooting Star and the F9F-2 Panther.
FORGOTTEN WAR includes several new nationalities, each with its own distinct characteristics, and expands some existing nationalities. FORGOTTEN WAR nationalities include the following:
United Nations (U.N.) Forces:
R.O.K. (Republic of Korea);
O.U.N.C. (Other United Nations Commands), representing forces from such countries as Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Thailand, and Turkey, all of whom contributed to the U.N. effort;
U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps;
British and Commonwealth (Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand) forces
Communist Forces:
K.P.A. (Korean People's Army)
C.P.V.A. (Chinese People's Volunteer Army)
FORGOTTEN WAR components include:

four 8" x 22" maps (See a sneak peek of all four maps combined!)
sixteen ASL scenarios
Chapter W rules for the Korean War
Chapter H rules for American, Commonwealth, O.U.N.C., R.O.K., K.P.A., and C.P.V.A.
two chapter dividers
one box and lid
NOTE: Because FORGOTTEN WAR is venturing into new territory for ASL, we have placed it on preorder earlier than normal in the process. It may take longer to finish fine tuning and lay out than it will to hit its preorder number. We'll post updates and new images on this page as things progress.
FORGOTTEN WAR is not a complete game. Ownership of the Advanced Squad Leader Game System is required for play.
