Overview:
As the 23rd Panzer Regiment failed to take Pabiance, the Leibstandarte Adolph Hitler entered into the firestorm and made great gains. Other units, however, couldn’t keep up with the Leibstandarte, with the result being a salient. The Waffen SS attack began to run out of steam due to the number of casualties and the desperate situation at hand. The Polish Army had no such shortage of men as units withdrawing from the west were ordered immediately into the battle. . .Attacker: Polish (2nd Koniov Rifle Regiment and ad hoc Infantry and Cavalry)
Defender: German (SS) (1st and 2nd Companies of Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler)

| 2023-03-09 | (A) Kevin Hannan | vs | usmcwo1 | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | The Polish's will to fight was eradicated around turn 3 and they resigned in turn 5. The Polish attempted to go around the center of the town to reach the east-end buildings. The flank on the north side ELR'ed and with the 6+1 Leader and the 5 broken-side morale was a challenge. On the south side, the Polish got further but not to the church, so the German's occupied that with their reinforcements and started blasting away. In retrospect, with the Polish and their weak ELR/morale, it probably would have been better to keep the force concentrated for better opportunity to rally and more effective fire groups. The Polish didn't have a good strategy to deal with the German morale/leadership advantage. | |
| 2022-11-19 | (A) Simon Staniforth | vs | Eoin Corrigan | Polish win | The Poles need to push forward sufficiently to have an effect on the German reinforcements or this powerful force, particularly the T3 group, could overwhelm them. I put both HS in the V4 building to slow them down (which worked somewhat), assaulting the Marketplace with my on board forces. I took this and lost it again but then if you can defend the R / Q hexrows and retain control of all those single hex buildings, you don’t actually need the Marketplace to deny the Germans a win. You must conserve the Poles for the end game - with that -1 broken ML and only “0” mod leaders they don’t Rally easily. Did just enough with the Germans falling short by 2VP. Finally got to place a FL through the Marketplace hex R7. This scenario has been around c25yrs and remains a good close contest | |
| 2020-05-23 | (A) Alberto González Ramírez | vs | Jake | Polish win | Good scenario. I had good luck with important shots. | |
