Overview:
Despite the spirited opposition of Poland’s Army Lodz and the still-mobilizing Army Prusy, the German 1st and 4th Panzer Divisions drove deep into the heart of Poland. As the panzer divisions continued their assault, bending straight for the town of Piotrkow, the Polish general staff attempted to organize order out of the chaos and launched a counterattack by Army Prusy. During the morning, the first major tank battle of the war developed on the western outskirts of town.Attacker: Polish (2nd Light Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (1st and 4th Panzer Divisions)

| 2022-12-03 | (D) Shane Pask | vs | German win | Poles could not hit the side of a barn (they managed to immobilise a Pz II on turn 1 but a later CH with intensive fire turned into a dud). The German armour leaders each scored 2 kills and enough tanks had exited the board by turn 3 that the Poles could not catch them. Poles managed 0 VP. | ||
| 2022-01-27 | (A) Ian Mann | vs | Ash Tennant | Draw | ||
| 2021-07-19 | (D) Jason Nichols | vs | Eric Topp | German win | Armour only so very dependent on good dice rolls. My opponent retired German turn 2 when I rolled snakes to hit a tank in the AFPh after his DF shots had all missed. | |
| 2021-03-30 | (A) Thomas Huber-Wehner | vs | Attila | German win | We had a lot of fun playing this interesting scenario. It was a give and take with a lot of drama. Landing a CH to see the shot bouncing off (TK 12...), MA breaking down, mixing up Pz IIA with PSW 231 (both have the same gun and driving in front of the enemy with a PSW 231 while thinking it's a Pz IIA isn't such a good thing... :D ). If you need some practice in AFV rules and combat, this scenario is an excellent Fahrstunde. | |
| 2021-02-08 | (D) Paul Legg | vs | Oyvind Bjorkas | German win (VASL Log) | GotM - Played with German balance. Even at the end of turn 2 with 3 tanks a side. Germans gained the flanks with the Poles in the centre.Called it on turn 4 poles movement with them only having 2 tanks remaining to the Germans 7 although 2 had malf'd MA and one was UK. |
