Overview:

Slovakia and Poland has disputed border territories following WWI, which led to continued tension between the two countries. The Slovaks allowed German forces to stage in Slovakia for the coming invasion. The Slovak Army mobilized on 26 August, and three of its divisions were incorporated into the German Fourteenth Army. The Slovak units were ordered to attack and protect the east flank of the Fourteenth Army. Standing in front of them were weak elements of the 1st Regiment, Border Defense Corps, having moved from the border with Russia to counter the pending threat.

2023-04-13(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Vasiliou Slovak winThe bulk of the Slovak force circled around the west side in an attempt to eventually take the eastern ridge from the north. A smaller force moved directly against the Polish forces on the ridge. The Slovak mortar had some initial moderate success. However, the crew broke on the Polish Turn 2 seriously hampering the frontal assault. In the mean time, the flanking force was able to close on a Polish MMG in the center stone building, despite taking losses. The Slovaks eventually encircled the MMG and then broke the Polish squad. This loss in the center left no Polish forces to prevent a further advance from the north. On the ridge, Slovak attacks were able to gradually whittle down the Polish defenders, who were having great trouble rallying. On Turn 5, with only 2 1/2 squads remaining and the Slovak mortar crew in good order, the Poles conceded.
2023-03-19(A) Asad Rustum vs Jonas Björkqvist Polish win
2021-07-22(D) Ken Rutkowski vs Jay Y Slovak winFun scenario. The Pole's need some luck. For me they didn't get the die rolls when needed. This one went down to the very last turn.
2021-05-24(A) Ulric Schwela vs Øyvind Bjørkås Polish winPole set up the fortified Alamo on the right hand hill, with delaying forces on the left. Slovak set up MG stacks out of LOS to begin and advance concealed, as far back as possible, worried they would get broken on turn 1; in the event most Polish long range fire was ineffective, only breaking the MMG stack late in the game after which the Polish sniper went on a solo Slovak slice and dice in the woods. Nasty. Slovak MGs varied in effectiveness, scoring a few breaks that temporarily gave the forward troops some respite. Mortar started with a well placed smoke round, after which it broke and Xd; the absence of its 8 FP with ROF 3 was sorely missed. Left hand Slovaks quickly swept over the hill and overran the Poles, except for one hs that slipped through and started reclaiming buildings; sending some units back to take care of it took them out of the end game. The front of the Alamo hill proved impossible to assault, any units advancing up being knocked right back, but they provided some nuisance value. Main threat became the sweepers that moved into the rear and briefly claimed one lvl 3 hill hex, the Slovaks maxing out at 11 VP before most likely being knocked back again. A lot of interesting manoeuvring for the Slovak, and crafty skulking for the Pole. Definitely willing to play again one day.
2021-02-10(D) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown Slovak winPoles held till late game but just could not rally. Rate tear from mortar locked it. Would play this one again
