Overview:

Three German Infantry Corps of Fourteenth Army were pushing east between the Vistula and Bug Rivers maintaining pressure, with VIII Corps oriented towards Tomaszow. The Polish forces began to break up into pockets of Resistance, and were not acting as a large, cohesive fighting force. Some of the Polish units formed strongpoints, reinforced with heavy machineguns to fight off the onslaught. Although these units were trapped, the German infantry was forced to reduce these positions. The 8th Infantry Division benefitted from having a company of self-propelled 88s, which came forward and pounded the tough positions.

2024-03-18(D) John Garlic vs David Goldman Polish win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-04-10(D) Shaun Andrews vs Steve Slunt German win
2021-04-13(A) Andy Bagley vs Tony Gibson German winThe Poles concentrated most of their forces in forward defensive positions on or just behind the first ridge, and at first this looked good as initial German progress was slow. The Poles also got an early break when their 46mm mortar took out two of the German assault guns. However, the superior German firepower eventually took its toll, and the Poles took heavy losses as they were unable to fall back coherently to second-line positions. As a result, the German infantry was largely intact and the Poles had only a few MMCs left when they conceded in Turn 4.
2021-02-09(D) Richard Jenulis vs Bill Slunt German winNWASL 2021. A 12hr marathon played over 14hrs with a two hour seventh inning stretch. Germans took the final two hill hexes on the final turn. The 88's are difficult for the Poles to deal with. One malf'ed three times and repaired immediately. They were intensive fire monster.
2020-10-12(D) Dave Mareske vs Scott Martin German winWell I got to try this one again. The game went back and forth with good shots and rolls on both sides. The game was won by the Germans moving a fanatic 5-4-8 through residual and a 4 (-2) shot...needed to roll a "6" for a 2MC to not pin, and rolled a "5"...Game won on the final move and roll of the dice. Awesome!
