Overview:

The Wielkopolska Cavalry Brigade had attacked and seized Sierakow, establishing a hasty defense. The 7th Horse Rifles were reinforced with the 7th Light Artillery and the TKS tanks of the 71st Independent Light Tank Company. The German Light Division 1 attacked toward Sierakow from the southeast, and ran into difficult antitank defenses. Polish 37mm antitank guns and 75mm artillery firing in direct mode quickly took their toll on the advancing panzers.

2019-12-08(D) walter mcwilliams vs Tom Kearney German winMisread the German entry, and chose to cover the hill with fire instead of manning it. Led to an east German victory.
2019-10-14(D) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin Polish winGerman attack came cautiously toward the hill which I had well defended. Took out three tanks from the swarm with one of the AT guns but lost to BMG tanks. My Superman led 'roach charged in at a PzIV in the middle took a bunch of ineffective fire but missed his shot before scurrying off. This allowed another 'roach to take out the PzIV. Essentially I was able to slowly whittle away the attacking Panzers and keep the infantry at bay long enough to cause opponent to lose his PMC in turn 4. I think it would have been close but the Germans had not made it to the village line yet and had much open ground to cross without much armor to support them.
