Scenario DelP040

Control of the town hexes is key to victory for this scenario, 2 VPs for Polish control and 4 VPs for Slovak control, so the fighting concentrated around the towns on maps 105 and 4.

The outnumbered Polish forces put up one heck of a fight, with their mortars & French 75s providing much needed fire support that broke up several Slovak attacks before they could get into close range of the Polish forces, this was especially true with the fighting around the town on map 4. The Slovak forces suffered from lower morale, especially if reduced, but there were a couple of good leaders that held it together and rallied their troops enough to keep the game interesting.

In the end the Slovaks only lost by 4 VPs, step losses hurt them but, in the end, they did not control enough town hexes to make up the difference, overall, a good scenario, challenging for the Slovaks, if you draw and flip good leaders.

Would be a good game for head-to-head play with the veteran player playing the Slovaks
