Overview:

The last redoubt against the advancing Red Army was the Warsaw Bridgehead-defeat would mean the death of the nascent Polish state. On 13 August, the Bolsheviks quickly exploited a weak point in the Polish defenses, capturing Radzymin and advancing beyond the town. The Poles launched multiple counter-attacks with any available forces, intent on stopping the Bolshevik incursion and close the breach of the Bridgehead. On the 15th, a hastily mustered combined force of infantry and FT-17C tanks attacked the Bolshevik left flank in another bid to retake Radzymin.
Attacker: Polish (85th "Wilno Rifles" Regiment, 1st Lithuanian-Belarusian Division with 1st Tank Regiment)

2025-01-13(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Polish winThe Polish tanks trundled along and would eventually succeed in getting two examples off-board thanks to some lucky shots, but they left a trail of dead FT-17 carcasses in the streets of the village, harassed and decimated by many a successful (1)PAATC checks and subsequent great CC rolls (with the Street Fighting bonus).

Hard to recommend, but unique enough to pique your interest.
2023-01-20(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Polish winFirst to play and post.
2023-01-20(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Polish winThis is one of the scenarios where the most important roll is for sides. I lost that and ended up as the Bolsheviks. Dan's Poles attacked from the west with 2 tanks and 3 tanks from the south. Dan rolled snakes twice against my concealed units, which wasted them and allowed his infantry to get some early kills. My MMG's were ready and waiting to shoot at tanks. I would hit several times, but never got a kill. I then broke my MMG facing the three tanks. My other one just couldn't get do anything and Dan's tanks rolled past me for the win on Turn 4. Gee...that was fun.
