Overview:

Early in the afternoon, the 11th Infantry Division, supported by tanks of the Kempf Panzer Division, began their attack. The stronghold of Mlawa was one of the few locations the Poles had erected any significant fortifications, a fact unknown to the Germans due to poor scouting. The panzers ran into unexpectedly heavy fire and could not penetrate the enemy anti-tank obstacles. . .
Attacker: German (11th Infantry Division)

2024-02-06(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German winA tense affair where an early loss of 2 German tanks was equalled by the break (and elimination) of a defensive AT gun due to a bad repair roll. From there, the Polish MMG eliminated a 3rd tank, before being overrun and crushed under tank treads. A bit of back and forth followed trying to get past the swamps, but the Poles simply had too much trouble getting their morale checks completed. Failured to rout and prisoner status hampered the defence even further. Heroically, Polish squads were still able to self-rally all the way to the end of the game, but the movement involved and low firepower coupled with high rolls meant they couldn't stop the needed CVP from exiting off-board with many points to spare. Fun scenario, the HIP status keeps you guessing!
