The Battle of Hwangsanbeol was very much a 300-type battle. 5,000 Soldiers of Baekje faced off against 50,000 soldiers of Silla. At the time, Korea had a limited cavalry, and battles were often decided by who fought harder and braver. During the battle, the underdog Baekje forces fought and repelled the Silla five times. The Silla were nearly broken when General Kim Pumil sent his son Gwanchang to single-handedly fight the enemy.

This was a challenging scenario to create a wargame for, but I wanted to give it a try. I want to lean into the fantasy aspect of the engagement like Achilles and Hector’s single combat outside Troy.

Wargame Rules Of Gods and Mortals or Broken Legion.
Models Needed: 10 Silla models, 1 Hero, and 50 Gyebaek Models.
Board Size 3×3 or smaller.
No terrain needed a pallisade just for aesthetics.

The Game
Place the Silla models on one end of the board. Their goal is to die heroically and not be captured. The models become captured if three or more Gyebaek models are within the engagement range of a single Silla model and are not engaged elsewhere. The Gyebaek models are attempting to capture but not kill the Silla models. The Silla forces should be superior in every way to the Gyebaek.
