Overview:

At the initial stage of the German invasion of Poland, the XXII Corps had orders to break the defense south of Cracow, defended by the Polish 10th (Motorized) Cavalry Brigade. In charge of the brigade was Colonel St. Maczek, who immediately started to use the brigade's 121st Light Tank Company as a kind of "fire brigade", thrown in at threatened parts of the front in order to secure any breach. - - - - Maczek Fire Brigade is a tourney-sized 5.5 turn scenario. German light tanks and elite infantry from the 4th Light Division have orders to secure 12 buildings defended by Polish infantry. The "fire brigade" in the form of Vickers tanks enter as Polish reinforcements.

2021-01-20(D) Mike Grogan vs Tim Wiegmann German winA close run game with a very aggressive German player, including running 2 motorcycle squads through significant Polish fire, without a scratch and capturing 2 rear buildings.
2021-01-14(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger Polish winVery exciting game with the Germans coming up just short in the end, with 10 buildings rather than the 12 I needed. Neil had some interesting luck: I lost one tank to an ATR critical hit, another in CC where he needed a DR of 3 and got snakeyes, and one of his leaders battle hardening twice! But I had some luck too, and it was Neil's excellent defence that really made the difference, placing his units in excellent positions and completely fooling me as to where is dummies were.

2020-05-11(A) Pascal Boileau vs Doba Serge Polish winA tremendous game for a great scenario ! The Poles won but it was really short. The German troops were installed in 11 buildings and controlled 10 of them at the end game. Some of these buildings were taken from the poles by one courageous HS. In addition, this valiant squad captured the pole MMG and destroyed the Vickers with a CH at turn 4. Then, leaving the malfunctioned MMG, he grabbed the ATR and immobilized a second AFV. Sadly, he was KIA on his attempt to reach the twelfth building... Real heroes never came back.
