"CONTENTS: * Over 350 counters (samples illustrated above) depicting Chinese, North and South Korean, French, Turkish, British and Commonwealth, Australian, Colombian and American forces which took part in the campaign. * A three-color mounted game board showing cen tral Korea from Seoul to the Chinese border. * Complete rules and charts including historical Order of Battle and Appearance for ease of play. ~ YALU is a game of the Chinese Counter Offensive against the United Nations forces in North Korea. The U.N. player begins with his forces widely scattered, far out of mutual support range. The Chinese player's troops appear in secret assembly areas inside Korea, some of them actually behind the U.N.'s intermittent lines. First turn surprise rules add to the U.N. plight, and make the first part of the game a desperate struggle for the U.N. player to extricate as many divisions from the deadly trap as possible, in the most rugged terrain in the world, and in the worst weather imaginable. At the same time, the Chinese player must push his forces to take as much ground as possible, for with the coming of spring, the weather will improve, and U.N. air-power will be out for blood. In the end game, U.N. airpower increases, but U.N. casualties are high, greater than can be replaced by the trickle of reinforcements which appear. And every turn, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army moves closer to the 38th Parallel, Seoul, and victory. . . YALU is a tense, well balanced game, often hinging on moves made in the final turn. Numerous options and strategies are open to both sides, and victory goes to the player who best marshals his forces. YALU can be played in an average of four to six hours. Difficulty level is considered average or moderate. This game is recommended for ages 12 to adult."
