Overview:

General Heinz Guderian's XIX Panzer Corps had broken through the Polish defensive lines at Wizna and Mlawa. Next on the agenda was the fortress of Brzesc-Litewski. The fortress' garrison was a mixed bag consisting of march battalions and a number of old FT-17 tanks used for training. On 14 September, 10. Panzer-Division hit Brzesc-Litewski Blitzkrieg-style directly from the march.

Question: The Polish FT-17C counter (and the Chapter H depiction of the same) shows a 4 FP CMG, while the vehicle listing table suggests that this vehicle has no CMG. For the purpose of this scenario, should the FT-17Cs have a CMG? Answer: Yes. FRF Website
FrF26 A Polish Requiem The FT-17Cs no longer have CMGs (as per MMP errata), and to compensate the Poles receive two extra 4-5-7 squads (one in each infantry group).FRF Website

2021-05-11(A) Andy Bagley vs Tron Lyodal Polish winTron defended this one really well. He fooled me onto thinking that his main force was around the central building on Board 4, whereas it was in fact further back around the stone building on Board t. As a result my attack on the western flank ran straight into this, and I got bogged down while he was able to bring his reinforcements up. I got a couple of tanks round the back into the victory area, but they were not able to achieve anything and had to retreat. I just wonder if a wider swing round that west flank might have enabled me to avoid his defences altogether.
2019-05-18(A) rene cote vs Rkruger Polish winI had won this one prior using a west flanking on board t. For tournament decided for a direct drive armoured assault up board 4.
That didn’t work so well, as the Poles reinforcement could appear both in front, behind and direct in contact with my forces trying to make it to VC zone. Managed to loose panzers to shots from FT17..... not a happy moment.
2019-03-13(A) rene cote vs mrosberg German winGerman armor outmatched the Poles armor and could still neutralize enough Polish infantry to get into the winning circle. Both got great lessons learned on tin cans and would play again with different set-ups
2018-03-18(A) Michael Augustine vs Jeff B German winJust like Jeff B said, I felt confident after my first turn. Used smoke and armor assault w/ the Germans on turn 1, along with flanking tactics. Although the Polish tank armor were tough against weak German AFV guns, it was ez just to ignore them and run past them. By turn 3 it was pretty much over. The Poles had a couple of chances to make it more difficult w/ exceptionally good MG or AFV shots, but needed high luck rolls to even hope to put a dent - and that luck didn't happen.
