Overview:

For two days the Poles desperately tried to hold a line in the vicinity of the Warta and Widawka Rivers but were gradually pushed back. However, the stubborn resistance of the crack Polish 10th Infantry Division was threatening to throw the German invaders severely off their time schedule and might enable the Poznan Army to escape almost certain encirclement. Determined to break through, the Germans brought up heavy reinforcements including the elite Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler Regiment and attacked at once.

2020-04-25(A) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba Polish winA very nice scenario played with Serge. First, the German gun and AFV were quickly destroyed. Then Polish troops were smartly positioned to deny progression to the German infantry entangled in wires. Finally, the running German troops were slaughtered by the Polish MG awaiting for them in the hills...

2017-10-09(D) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer German (SS) winVery fun scenario. Midgame everything was going according to plans for the Poles, having funneled the Germans through the middle of the board with their wire placement. The 9/10 road was guarded with a firelane, while those Germans who managed to make it across were hit from the other side with the other MMG. But Turn 5 saw a big break for the Germans when this nest was eliminated, opening the center of the board up nicely for them to move across in force. About this time their OBA decided to become the menace it was meant to be as well. Things were looking quite grim late in the game for the Poles. Their only hope was answering OBA of their own. Thankfully they managed to call some harassing fire down at the goalline. On the very last turn the Germans needed to get off 3 more VPs, and a brave squad survived OBA in the woods and a trio of shots to make it off for the win.
2017-10-09(A) Scott Sherer vs Jeff Buser German (SS) winAgree with Jeff...very fun scenario with several swings in momentum. As the Germans, I came on from the top and center of board 5 (the German left flank). Used the INF gun to try to dissuade the Poles off of Hill 498, but then promptly hooked it up when they left and they went right back up to the summit to harass the German attack. Getting across the road on the far side of the woods-gully was key, and I was feeling pretty good about my chances once I got into the village en force. However, the Polish artillery started to find the range and broke several of my units with harassing fire, causing the final turn to be quite exciting as I was just able to sneak off enough VP for the hard-fought victory.
