Overview:

The town of Szack had been occupied by the Soviet 52nd Rifle Division, supported by a number of T-26 and T-28 tanks. Units of the Polish Border Protection Corps (Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza, or KOP), commanded by General Wilhelm Orlik-Rückemann, quickly closed on Szack, occupying the woods line west of town. Rückemann's corps was able to bait the Soviet armor into an ill-advised attack. Polish anti-tank and infantry guns quickly destroyed dozens of Soviet tanks, forcing them to retreat into Szack. Hoping to further boost morale, the Polish commander ordered a counterattack.

2025-04-30(D) Andy Goldin vs Michael Klautky Polish winTough loss for me as the Russians. I managed to keep the Poles out of most of the buildings for the first half of the game but got hung-up in a key CC (I had 4-1 odds and rolled an 11, while Michael rolled a 3, resulting in a CR for one of my squads) on Turn 4. Turn 5 I had some good fire attacks, scoring 1MCs but Michael's Poles held firm, easily passing their MCs. In contrast my Russians failed every check so that by the end of Turn 5 I was left with 1 1/2 good order squads and a tank with a malf'd MA. I was unable to bring anyone back from their DM status in my Rally Phase and conceded in a decisive Polish win.
2025-04-20(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace Polish win
2025-04-04(A) Johan Vrijdaghs vs Adrian Carter Russian win
2025-03-22(D) Eric Partizan Eric vs Jean Lasnier Polish win13 VP at the last CC.
2025-03-22(D) Simon Staniforth vs DC Polish winIt’s always a good game when it comes down to the last CC and the Poles had 3 of them to take a final VC building which they duly did. I just hadn’t inflicted enough damage on them through the game so they had plenty of options with squads and half squads for that final turn rush. Feels well balanced and would happily play again as either side
