The Korean War: June 1950 - May 1951, Designer Signature Edition, marks the return of a true wargaming classic by Joseph Balkoski first published in 1986, faithfully remastered and updated with this all-new, supersized edition. Hailed by many as of the premier games covering The Korean War, this two-player operational level simulation covers the first year of the Korean conflict, from June 1950 to May 1951.

This edition of The Korean War features a super-sized map and larger counters and is another Classic Reborn! by Compass.

During this period, the United States found itself involved in a bitter struggle in a remote Asian land that many Americans had not even heard of. Amid the debacles and stunning victories of the first year of war, the very foundation of the American military system - so recently triumphant in the Second World War - was severely shaken. In a war that few Americans understood and which historians have tended to ignore, the foundation of future American diplomacy in the face of communism was laid.

The players control ground and air forces of the United Nations, North Korea, and Communist China. Each player's force consists of a wide variety of units, including infantry, marines, paratroopers, armor, and aircraft. The map is a 1:750,000 representation of the Korean peninsula from Pusan in the south to the Yalu River in the north. In addition to controlling military forces, the players must make a number of political decisions that have an important effect on the game. Above all, the UN player must strive to keep international tensions at a minimum for the purpose of preventing World War Three. Intense escalation and mobilization could have disastrous consequences for the militarily-unprepared United States. On the other hand, insufficient force applied to Korea could lead to the conquest of South Korea by North Korean communists.

This Designer Signature edition of the classic Joseph Balkoski game goes beyond merely incorporating errata found from the original edition; it includes enhancements that include:

- Larger and easier-to-read 9/16" counters and three game maps
- Game map information is updated and includes all-new map artwork
- Enhanced ergonomics are built into the set up and reinforcement charts
- Restrictions on UN build-up and breakdown so UN player cannot perpetually continue Action Phase by reorganizing units
- Modified amphibious assault system that allows UN player to more effectively recreate September 1950 Inchon invasion
- Modified victory conditions that lessen impact of Global Tension
- New random events to make the operation a bit more unpredictable
- Updated rules treatment backed by many illustrations, an index, and clarifications and examples of play to reduce potential questions.
- Updated historical notes

The Best Fluoride-Free Toothpaste I've Tried
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 5.25 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been using Davids Hydroxi Fluoride-Free Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste for several weeks, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed was how clean and smooth my teeth felt after brushing. Unlike many natural toothpastes, it leaves a genuinely fresh feeling without being overly harsh. The natural peppermint flavor is refreshing and pleasant without the intense burn that some mint toothpastes have. What really impressed me is the nano-hydroxyapatite formula, which is designed to support enamel remineralization and reduce sensitivity. My teeth have become noticeably less sensitive to cold drinks, and they feel stronger overall. Nano-hydroxyapatite is gaining attention as a fluoride alternative because it can help replenish minerals in enamel and reduce sensitivity. I also appreciate that it's: Fluoride-free SLS-free Made in the USA Vegan Uses high-quality ingredients Comes in a recyclable metal tube The whitening is subtle but effective. My teeth look brighter without any increased sensitivity, and the toothpaste is gentle enough for daily use. The inclusion of xylitol and hydroxyapatite makes it feel like a premium oral care product rather than just another natural toothpaste. While it's more expensive than conventional toothpaste, the quality and ingredients justify the price. Even dental professionals reviewing hydroxyapatite toothpastes have noted benefits for remineralization, sensitivity relief, and plaque reduction. Overall: 5/5 stars. If you're looking for a fluoride-free toothpaste that supports enamel health, helps with sensitivity, and leaves your mouth feeling exceptionally clean, Davids Hydroxi is absolutely worth trying. Highly recommended!

Mild mint taste
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I wanted to go fluoride free with my toothpaste so I decided to give this a try. I like that the flavor isn’t overly strong and it hasn’t caused any irritation at all. It doesn’t foam up as bad as my old toothpaste did. It is important to me that it’s all natural and fluoride free. My first check up at the dentist after using it went really well so it cleans your teeth really well. I would recommend it

Clean feel and gentle on teeth
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I picked up this toothpaste because I wanted to try something a little different that focused on a more natural feel while still keeping my teeth clean, Between coffee daily meals and just normal wear I was looking for something that felt effective without being harsh, I wasnt sure how I would like a fluoride free option but it has been a nice change When it arrived the first thing I noticed was the clean simple packaging and the peppermint scent, The texture is smooth and spreads easily without being overly foamy, It has a mild mint flavor that feels fresh without being too strong or overpowering, My spouse tried it as well and said it felt less intense than typical toothpaste which was actually a positive After using it regularly my teeth felt clean and smooth without that overly stripped feeling some products leave behind, It has been gentle enough that I did not notice any sensitivity or irritation which is something I always pay attention to, The overall experience feels more balanced and not overly aggressive I also like that it does not have a long list of harsh ingredients and still manages to do the job, It fits easily into a daily routine and does not require any adjustments or special steps, The tube size is practical and easy to store For anyone looking for a toothpaste that feels gentle clean and a bit more natural this has been a good option, It keeps things simple while still providing a fresh feeling after brushing I currently highly recommend this product. However, should issues arise I will update my review accordingly.

Only toothpaste in my household
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 5.25 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love this toothpaste, no fluoride, great taste, fresh breath. Great value for the price as the tube is quite large. Only downfall if that it doesn't foam well which you will find with any toothpaste not full of nasty chemicals. Only thing my family uses.
