In 1920, the Poles seized Kiev, deep in the Ukraine. They were then dramatically routed by the Cossack cavalry, and Poland's future hung in the balance. Bolshevik expansionists attacked into Poland. At a crossroads east of Lwow, a group of volunteers and veterans of the Great War were waiting to be relieved by Regular Army troops during a lull in the fighting. The next day an advance column of Soviet troops approached. The men of the relief force raced down the wooded road towards the sound of gunfire. . .

Very fun scenario! My Russian Human Wave managed to clear the crossroads, but ran out of gas before it could hit the remaining Polish half-squad and that was game and a Polish victory.

Russian win
Unlucky rolls malfunctioned the Polish MMG and gave a few too many chances for my Russians to get adjacent. Still went down to the wire, but a Close Combat at the end of the game went to Melee and secured a win for the Russians. Didn't play with the balance.

Polish win
After playing both sides and using the Russian Balance option this game still seems unbalanced against the Russians.

Polish win
Game balance seemed overly biased towards the Polish. Next game will use increased game length to benefit Russians.
