Scenario CCV1007

This is the final scenario in the September Campaign arc. In it, two battalions of Poles, some on bikes are trying to escape the surrender of the country and join in the forces in exile so that they can play Carpathian Brigade and Cassino (and maybe Polish Steel). The Germans are trying to stop them with two companies of infantry. A huge help to the Poles is that it is nightime and the Germans will have a tough time seeing them to use their firepower.

The Poles come rushing down the east edge of the board with the bikes actually gaining the edge despite having to run through some opportunity fire to get there. Rather than immediately exiting, however, they hold up within movement range of the German line and wait for the foot units to arrive. When they do the Poles attack from the front and rear and get some astounding combat results, shredding the Germans and opening a large hold for the rest of the troops. Fully 3/4 of the Poles are able to exit the board to "safety" in Hungary, apparently.

The Germans are simply too outnumbered to win this one unless the Poles just try to run. If they stop to fight the Poles will certainly not lose by much regardless of the dice. In essence, nothing decisive can happen in this scenario. I give it a "3" for the general interest but it is a weak 3.
