Scenario DelP008

Short scenario with dug-in Polish Bicycle troops defending a bridge against two German infantry companies with an engineer platoon, 81mm mortar battery and a company of Pz-Is for support.

Time was of the essence so the Germans threw finesse out the window by heading straight for the bridge and brought heavy DF, using leaders with combat modifiers, on the dug-in Polish forces, eventually demoralizing one hex but not effecting the other, which had an 11-1-2 Porucznik stacked with it.

Germans brought up the engineer platoon to help facilitate a river crossing while two infantry platoons rushed the bridge hex only to be repulsed by the well lead Polish Bicycle troops. With time running out the Germans got forces across the river and were able to hold on to the bridge hex with the help of the engineer platoon.

The Pz-I company moved up to support the river crossing but got too close as an unspotted Polish ATG battery from the town opened up and quickly knocked out a platoon of Pz-I’s. The Panzers quickly pulled back out of effective range of the ATG and had no other influence in the scenario.

Victory conditions for this scenario was control of the bridge hex, the Germans were able to gain and hold the bridge but it was not easy.
