Overview:

The SS LAH Regiment fought under XVI Corps during the invasion of Poland and was reinforced with the 150mm howitzers of Battalion II/Artillery Regiment 46. On the southern edge of the famous “Ceramic City” of Boleslawez, its lead elements were ambushed. Elements of the regiment attacked into the center of the city. Battalion III, minus Company 10, advanced to the east and ran into strong resistance at a village suburb of the city, defended by National Guard Battalion Wielun II, reinforced with artillery.
Attacker: German (SS) (Elements of III/SS Regitment Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler)

2021-04-01(A) Ross Mulcare vs Seb Mankowski Polish winMy German setup was spread along the entire board edge, as the threat of early Polish OBA made me wary of clumping up too much. Giving up that concentration of force, though, ultimately was a mistake. The Polish, especially once reinforced, can hold their own against a spread out line of even these beefy SS units. The handful of HMGs, all of which can Bore Sight, certainly provide enough firepower to make the German advance tricky. I never found a real opening in their line to push through. I did get one FFE off with the big 150+mm OBA, but subsequently malf'd the radio, never getting it fixed. I conceded after my MPh on Turn 5 with zero of the 6 VC buildings in my control, and realistic chances of grabbing maybe 1-2 of them.

This was fun enough, even if the stats today (Poles 9, SS 1) reveal it to be perhaps quite unbalanced. I think the SS could be given Smoke in their OBA to balance this out and provide a bit more maneuverability.
2019-02-23(A) Jason Wert vs Michael Daschbach Polish win
2019-01-13(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs Polish win
2018-08-16(D) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall Polish winEntertaining all-infantry scenario. In our match, the German OBA never got into play because the observer was wounded early.
2017-09-10(A) jon smith vs polish Polish wingreat game. Looked out of reach for germans till last few turns then they nearly won it but lost with some bad NMC checks in last turn. excellent
