MacArthur's Masterstroke — The Great Amphibious Gamble
The amphibious landing that military experts said was impossible. Inchon's massive tidal flats — with 30-foot tides and narrow approach channels — made it the worst possible landing site, which is exactly why MacArthur chose it. The board captures the seawall at Wolmi-do Island, the treacherous mud flats exposed at low tide, and the port city beyond. Landing craft navigate the narrow Flying Fish Channel. Marines scale the seawall with ladders under fire. The city of Inchon stretches inland, its streets becoming the next battlefield. This board captures the audacity of one of the greatest military gambles in history.
