Overview:

After months of preparation and diplomatic posturing, Hitler unleased his war machine on the Republic of Poland. Poland was not unprepared for this, however, and would be no pushover, having mobilized its troops and occupied strong defensive positions. The Polish armed forces would give up ground grudgingly and then only after a price had been paid. Crossing the border at dawn, the tank-heavy Panzer-Division 4 made good progress. The only opposition was a light screen of border guards more interested in serving as an early warning tripwire than actually engaging the Germans.
Attacker: German (Panzer-Regiment 36 and Schützen-Regiment 12, Panzer-Division 4)
Defender: Polish (4th Battalion, 84th Infantry Regiment, 21st Uhlan Regiment and 2nd Artillery Battalion)

2024-10-06(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe Germans launched a main frontal assault along the southern road while a flanking group consisting of 4 squads a leader and a tank tried to turn the Polish defense by moving north along the border a the large wheatfield. Lots of German tanks were destroyed very quickly by both guns and ATR. But the German infantry was still pushing forward. The Poles defended quite well, specifically in close combat. Still, the Germans were able to gain control of 8 buildings and resist two Polish counterattacks for victory. A very fun scenario.
2023-09-04(A) Itinerant Hobbyist vs German winlearning tank and ordnance rules and probably the biggest scenario I played solo. Fun end run that made it happen. fun melees, lots of broken guns and some fixed, crazy shots hit and crazy shots missed. I think a competent german could crush the polish.
2023-09-03(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Polish winVery fun and very bloody game. The Poles managed to eliminate all the tanks and break a lot of squads, but by Turn 6, all the guns were eliminated and only two squads and the 9-1 and 8-1 were left. But time ran out with only 6 buildings under German control for a Polish win.
