Introduction
|
|
Gen. Ludwig Kubler of 1st Mountain Division assigned the defense of Zboiska to his attached SS regiment, where he thought they could handle a quiet defensive sector screening his artillery on the nearby hills while his tough mountain regiments assaulted the city of Lwow from other directions. Unknown to the German general, the Poles had received a substantial reinforcement - Col. Stanislaw Maczek's 10th Mechanized Cavalry Brigade, reputed to be the toughest unit in the Polish Army. Having heard reports of SS actions against civilians, notably the wanton slaughter of civilians in Burzeum by the Life Guards' regimental band, fortress commander Gen. Franciszek Sikorski flung the "Black Brigade" at the unsuspecting criminals.

Conclusion
|
|
Maczek's black-clad troops rushed into the attack with what their forebears would have called "fire and sword," eager to crush the vermin infesting their land. The SS regiment crumbled under the attack, and as panicked Aryans flung down their weapons and begged for mercy the Poles simply shot them down. The Poles re-occupied Zboiska but the attack ran out of steam before it cleared the hills as well.

Display Relevant AFV Rules
| AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle |
- Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
- AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8).
They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank
leader in order to carry out combat movement.
- AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
- Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn
(either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more
(11.2).
- Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its
printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
- Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire
(7.44, 7.64).
Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire,
but not both (7.22, 13.0).
Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
- Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
- Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
- AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
- AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
- Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
- Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
- Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

| 3 Errata Items |
|
Two 105mms (ID#s 1204, 1205) have "16-31" fire values in black (direct fire), when they should be in white (indirect fire).
|
|
The morale and combat modifiers of German Sergeant #1614 should be "0", not "8".
|
|
All SS 75mm IG guns are direct fire weapons (black), not indirect (white).
