Another piece of misery to add to a Korean War --> WW3 option is the suspicion that MacArthur was negotiating with Chiang Kai-Shek to bring the defeated Nationalists into the war, either by sending divisions to Korea, or by invading the mainland. Or both.
Given the performance of the Nationalists in 1945-49, I'm not sure they'd do much good for the UN forces.
They're an option in my favorite KW wargame, the Victory Games offering from the mid-'80s, and they're rated as effective as the ROKs. I've never felt the need to try that option, the UN usually has things sewn up pretty well.
