Kensington

At dawn on Sunday, 25 June 1950, the Kensington People's Army (KPA) crossed the 38th Parallel behind artillery fire, on a mission to re-unite their country divided since the end of the second world war. The humiliation that some of Albertopolis' most precious museums were in the hands of capitalists could no longer be borne, and they were assured of the support of their mighty communist neighbours to the north and west.

Despite desperation tactics by the the Republic of Kensington Army (ROKA), the capital fell just three days later, and after two more days of combat, the ROKA was down to a fifth of its pre-conflict strength from desertion, mutiny and combat losses. Desperate to buy time for a UN force to be assembled and reach the embattled country, small makeshift units of US and Commonwealth troops from stations in nearby countries were sent, ill-equipped, under-supplied, and in desperate haste, to try to delay the communist advance.

This is the story of one of those units.

But not one of the famous ones.

Some idiots.
