Overview:

The German invasion of Poland was underway. The German assault did not just consist of armored spearheads and infantry and swarms of airplanes denoting the typical blitzkrieg operation. In many secondary areas only border guards and garrison troops tentatively advanced across the border to hold the Polish units in place to allow for other units to advance against weaker opposition. In the area of Lexno, the 71st Armored Battalion equipped with obsolete equipment tussled with the 2nd line German troops including a number of Fifth Columnists. The 2nd Platoon of armored cars and a company from the III/55th Battalion beat back the aggressors and pushed into Germany chasing the retreating Germans, accomplishing the first invasion of Germany in World War 2.
Attacker: German (Frontier Guard Garrison)

2024-04-29(D) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Polish winThe original concept of running away from an attacking Polish force is a novel one for the timeframe, but the scenario is hobbled by detrimental SSRs that prevent the German side from making interesting choices. In my game, the Germans immediately lost all three units that came from the east edge entry that carried Support Weapons - this allowed for the Polish Armored Cars to roam free and mess with the withdrawal. In the end, no units on Board 10 participated in the game, as a result of poor range, lack of targets, ambiguity with one of the SSRs, and overall map design/choices. I think this scenario could be redeemed if the 3 Kfz 7s were allowed to move onto Board FE1, in an attempt to rescue German troops, making for a fun Deploy, Load, Run, series of actions, coupled with the poor guns on the Wz.34s and the double small size, the concept has legs. Additionally, an SSR that would allow the 6+1 to roll Task Checks to "permit" a targeted unit to enter Board FE1 from Board 10 would also be a welcome change, giving a certain randomness and hesitance to their arrival, while also allowing for what few half-squads that start there to interdict, hunt down trucks, or force Overruns, among other things. Not sure how the playtesters missed this stinker.
