Overview:

Ill-equipped, undermanned and lacking any anti-tank artillery, the Polish defenders relied mostly on improvised anti-tank means such as bottles of gasoline or turpentine, small arms fire, and anti-tank obstacles. On 20 September, the tanks of the Soviet 27th Light Tank Brigade of the 15th Tank Corps reached the city's outskirts. Although both numerically and technically superior, the Soviet forces lacked infantry support and oil, which stopped many tanks. Also, the tank crews had no experience in urban warfare, which was a significant help for the defenders. The Soviets tried to seize the city from the south through the bridge over the Niemen River.
Attacker: Russian (27th Light Tank Brigade, 15th Tank Corps)

Question: May the burning wrecks be placed on Narrow Streets? Answer: No. A Narrow Street hex is not a road hex, since the "road" in that hex is not the dominant terrain (B.1). FrF website

2017-10-04(D) Jeffrey wasserman vs Mattias Ronnblom Polish winRussians rushed towards the victory building with tanks, armored cars and truck mounted infantry (who quickly dismounted). My Poles were out of position and rushed to block the infantry. The key for the Poles is to kill the Russian infantry. I got lucky with a 2-1 residual shot that k/1 a squad and leader (who both Yahtzee). The end of the scenario came when the commissar executed both halves of a conscript squad.
2017-06-25(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Ryan Voznick Polish winUse your roadblock wisely in order to block and channel the russian trucks.
In this particular game the molotov were of no use against tanks, my opponent had almost bagged the game when a sniper activeted and destroyed one of the two squads that could win him the game.
2012-10-03(D) Kevin Killeen vs John Standick Polish winClose. Barely blocked Russian infantry from gaining entry.
