Overview:

The mission for German XXI Corps was to destroy Polish forces between the border and Graudenz, and then advance to the city. The Corps’ main effort was Infantry Division 21. This was no easy task, as there were 12 miles of wooded and difficult terrain between the Germans and the city. The Germans initially made quick gains on 1 September, but late in the afternoon were stopped by strong resistance. They finally forced a bridgehead over the Ossa River which was quickly exploited, enabling the division to continue the attack on 2 September. The Polish 16th Infantry used the wooded terrain and lakes to their advantage. They built strongpoints to cover these natural chokepoints, and the Germans quickly became bogged down as they tried to expand their bridgehead.

2023-03-19(D) Steven Cummings vs Tim Osborne In progress
2023-03-14(D) Mark Thompson vs Germans (Steve Boro) Polish winThe German attack on the right was slowed by a MMG on the hill and their thrust in the center was rebuffed by HMG & MMG fire from a bunker at the chokepoint just north of the pond. The Germans were able to flank the Poles on the right after the MMG crew broke, but could not get past the Poles reverse slope defense anchored in the victory buildings. The Germans then shifted the attack to Poles' left flank - and made some progress - but ultimately did not have enough strength or time to take the victory buildings and conceded in German Player Turn 6.
2023-03-09(D) Craig Renier vs Jim Vasiliou German winThe Germans began their thrust on the Polish left flank. The Poles laid down fire lanes blocking that line of approach and broke two German stacks. The Germans rallied the very next turn and shifted their attack to the center. Two Polish MMCs, one with an MMG and one with an HMG broke in the center. The Poles attempted to withdraw and bolster the defense, but the tidal wave of German units washed over the terrain. The Poles kept taking losses while falling back while the Germans did not suffer any permanent loss. The Poles were able to maintain a level of defense, but on the final turn they were sufficiently surrounded so when they broke, they had no where to rout.
2023-02-27(A) David Garvin vs Brent Kerr Polish winThough this was called early, Brent's defences were enough to slow me up. A series of poor morale checks (and a casualty morale check) left me with not enough to force the issue.
2022-11-11(D) nathan wegener vs Tracey Love Polish winNTX Shootout. Broke stack of 3 squads w first shot. Rest of attack did not go much better. Had some good attack rolls. Difficult for attacker to make it thru the chokepoints if well defened
