Overview:

Hitler had declared Warsaw-Praga a fortress, keystone to the Vistula line. The city was to be held at all costs, but this was neither likely nor realistic. The Waffen SS veterans assigned the task of holding the city held no illusions as to what such a defeat would mean. The recon troop of the 2nd Polish Tank Regiment was not looking for a fight as it searched out a route to the Most Slaski Bridge but it found one.

2026-07-11(D) Jason Nichols vs Hugh Harvey Russian winGermans found it hard to score a hit on moving, small target tanks. Hugh exited three T70's on turn 2 and of course he rolled a 6 which brought them back on turn 8. I'd only kept one ATG off-board so he was still able to exit his tanks without coming back on board. I should have formed a better, up front defence.

2021-11-16(A) M T vs T.L. Russian winI attacked perhaps too slowly at first, advancing the AFVs at pace with the infantry, and made a break for it later in the game - this resulted in my T-70s having to drive CE for a while, which of course exposes them to unnecessary risks with HIP infantry and ATGs around. In the end I managed to exit three vehicles, with one lost to a PF shot, one to an ATMM attack and one to an ATG shot. Only managed to use SSR4 to exit a single vehicle through 20I10, but luckily rolled a 6 for the dr, which resulted in securing that AFV for the VCs with my opponent having reserved 2 MMCs for offboard duty.

I enjoyed the scenario more than I initially thought I would, there are enough different avenues of approach to make it interesting and we had a tightly contested battle right till the end. It also served as a good refresher course on rules related to infantry attacking AFVs. Perhaps my main concern with it is that a big part of how the scenario flows is hinged on a single dr (the one associated with SSR4).

Of note for newer players is that the T-70 is a Tankette and therefore can not accept Passengers (D6.2) . This is easy to miss and I think also very significant to how the Russian player approaches the scenario.
