2024-11-04(D) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German (SS) winA strong start from the Poles, eliminating an Armored Car and breaking several units, saw the steam run out as the Germans started to gain ground. By the time they started inflicting casualties, the dice turned on the defenders and it soon became a slaughter where nobody could rout and No Quarter was in effect.

I liked this one, though it feels like the Polish balance should be an extra squad or perhaps an LMG rather than a 1-2-7 and some extra concealment counters. Once the ? counters dry up, there's really not much to hold back the SS. Regardless, worth a play.
2024-06-05(D) John Garlic vs Jeremy Busby German (SS) win[Imported from ROAR]
2021-02-28(D) Will Willow vs K. Mioduski German (SS) winPoles passed a lot of morale checks and took out two armored cars while the the third one bogged in a semi useful spot. Ended up being a CC fest and it was over in German five. Poles need the balance.
2020-09-18(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Rodgers Polish winVASL: The Germans made good progress with a heavy right wing attack. The armored cars were able to get behind the Polish lines to cut off retreats and encircle. By turn three it looked like an early German victory. But the stubborn Poles refused to break after several turns of high FP attacks against encircled defenders. Instead, the SS started to break en mass. The Last turn came down to 3 CC. The Germans needed to win 2 and not loose the third, but failed in the end. Highlights for the Germans was the creation of two 8-0 leaders. This is a fun scenario.
2020-05-17(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Polish winAnother great nail biter game with Dan Best. Came down to the last German movement phase where they need to cross the street and get into a building, but they were gunned down by a pinned squad. The Poles set up heavy in the woods and that is were the Germans moved against. This is a great game to teach the skulking action by the defender. We had lots of Melees that seemed to drag on through game with the Germans winning most of them...just too late. One AC was immobilized early by a mortar and another MALFed its MA late in the game.
