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.

2022-06-06(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna Polish winPoles had their backs up against the wall, quickly losing 2 of 3 of their ACs to ATR fire. But then they started to cause extensive damage in close combat and that sealed the deal on the final turn.
2022-05-31(A) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist Polish winGermans were totally slaughtered. Conceded after game turn 2.
2022-03-19(A) David Garvin vs Bill Sosnicki German win
2022-01-27(D) Ken Rutkowski vs Jay Y German win
2021-03-19(A) Ross Mulcare vs Seb Mankowski German winSolid tournament-sized scenario. Mostly infantry, but a few soft AFVs to play with. An inspired HMG positioning in the Polish setup--one that created a devastating fire lane--locked down the Germans in the early game. Some deft maneuvering (and a couple of battle hardens!) by the Germans at mid-game allowed for a south-west flank. Poles conceded at the end of Turn 4 with the Germans holding 4 buildings and positioned to relatively easily grab several more. This is a solid scenario for what it is -- I don't get too excited about these tight little tournament skirmishes, though.
