2025-12-13(A) Don Berg vs Don Berg Polish winPoles split their force into 3 2-tank platoons, one per board. The Russians chose to match this by splitting into three groups as well. The small Polish tanks proved hard to hit, and with the 4/6 armor factor also proved hard to kill. One Polish tanks was killed and the other immobilized on the West board. It turns out the immobilized tank still had teeth however, as it proceeded to kill both unarmored trucks on its board before they could reposition to the other boards. All other Polish tanks succeeded in evading the shots from the other AA trucks and exited on turn 6.
2024-07-15(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Polish winThe use of rare vehicles and early war combat, with only vehicles to contend with makes for a tense, fun, and short scenario. There are options for either side to take in their approach at attacking/defending, and the terrain, for the most part, can force the scenario to become a knife fight amongst a few buildings and wheat fields. The biggest change I could see to this scenario is swapping out the easternmost board for something with a little less open ground in it. Otherwise, worth a play.
