Scenario Description
For a week, the 23rd Infantry Regiment improved its positions on the low hills surrounding the road hub of Chipyong-ni, amid reports that the Communist Chinese were moving in force both to the east and west. Lacking information on communist objectives, the American commander was ordered to take prisoners for interrogation. The night of 10-11 February was chosen by the 1st Ranger Company for the raid. One platoon would “shoot up” Changdae, driving frightened Communist Chinese into the hands of another platoon waiting at the south edge of town.

Battle Narrative
The Battle of Chipyong-ni, also known as the Battle of Dipingli, was a decisive battle of the Korean War, that took place from 13 to 15 February 1951 between US and French units of the US 23rd Infantry Regiment and various units of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) around the village of Chipyong-ni. The result was a United Nations Command victory. The battle, along with the Third Battle of Wonju, has been called "the Gettysburg of the Korean War," and represents the "high-water mark" of the Chinese invasion of South Korea. Due to the ferocity of the Chinese attack and the heroism of the defenders, the battle has also been called "one of the greatest regimental defense actions in military history."
