Overview:

The Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade established outposts in front of its main line of defense. Several of these were reinforced with armored cars. One such position, near the village of Krzynowloga Mala, was reinforced with 2nd Troop, Armored Car Squadron, 11th Armored Battalion. Many German units met little resistance on 1 September; however, the Third German Army was resisted along most of its front, including Krzynowloga Mala. Infantry Division 12’s reconnaissance unit approached Krzynowloga Mala and came under intense fire from hidden positions.

2023-03-08(A) Jack Wilson vs Tim C. German winA fun and quick scenario played as part of the VASL WARR tournament. The Poles have some interesting AFVs: Three armored cars with two MG and one 37* MA and THREE different covered arcs. The Germans had three AC armed only with an AAMG.

It was a mini battle of Kursk for a turn or two. In the end, I had one AC recalled, one wrecked, and one immobilized. Fortunately for me, the one ATR that didn't malf, made up the difference and wrecked two of his AC, and shocked the third.

Taking that much FP off the board allowed my infantry a chance to close in on the VC buildings. Still, on turn three my attack was a shambles and it looked like a German loss. I got lucky in a RPh and pulled myself together for T4.

On that turn Tim's dice betrayed him. He had one 12 flat and two 8 +1 shots and got not even a pin result. My return fire benefitted from my low rolls coupled with his high rolls flushing the last MMC out of the VC buildings.

A fun scenario. But one I believe is tilted toward the German player.
