Overview:

After a week of war, the German invasion of Poland ran according to plans. German troops of the 8. Armee were marching eastward on Warsaw, and on the other side of the Bzura river were Polish troops withdrawing in the same direction. Stretched along the Bzura, protecting the army's flank, was the 30. Infanterie-Division. On the morning of 9 September, the Polish Knoll-Kownacki Operational Group launched a large-scale assault across the Bzura. For the first (and would it prove later, only) time during the 1939 conflict the Poles mounted an offensive.

2024-10-05(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German winThe Polish side had a disastrous start with none of their initial shots seeing any success. I opted for a spread out attack, and perhaps that was the issue, where I should've focused on one entire flank. As it stood, the first turn only saw the Poles taking losses from assault moves and poor MC rolling.

The Germans took the lead early and never let go, as any attempts to dislodge them from their starting woods met with failure, and the rallies were never able to bring enough men back into the fight. Some tenacious attacking from the Polish side did, eventually, claim 3 squads, but it was still 3 short of the victory condition.

An interesting scenario, though the setup makes it tough to appreciate the breadth of the map available.

2024-04-12(A) Jack Wilson vs Chip Wertenberger German winChip's excellent defense combined, with my lethargic attack plan, resulted in a Polish loss. Still, if just one of several squads had managed to survive the relatively low odds gauntlet run on the last turn, the Poles would have captured the final VC building for the win.
2024-02-19(A) Brian Lazewski vs Jeffrey Malter German winIt was a razor thin German win at the buzzer.
