The Deluge, scenario #8: Bicycle Races

This looked like a kind of fun puzzle scenario to solve even if I knew the Germans would probably win. With only 12 turns to conquer the Polish bridge on a major river, I rushed 3 German Pz Is units up to the Polish 37mm AT Gun on the Bridge hex to distract the Polish side’s attention and to move my German Infantry into fighting range and hopefully have some units with the Engineer unit to cross the Brda River.

I sacrificed 4 steps or 8 points of German Pz I’s to both takeout the Polish 37mm AT Gun but crossed the river at both the bridge and a separate crossing area. The Polish lost 4 steps of CYC-Infantry and one 37mm AT Gun units, but also the bridge and the scenario.

Even if I kind of figured the results before hand, it was a fun puzzle of a scenario to solve. The Germans just have too much Infantry and armor for the Polish to hold back, even if dug-in and only 12 turns. That is what kind of makes it fun, you pretty much have to rush the Polish units to win, even if it means losing some German units, so there isn’t a lot of caution, making it interesting on your strategies and dice rolls.
