In this scenario a German Infantry assault force backed up by large artillery support and the Luftwaffe have to attack a Polish fortified area. The Poles have strongpoint's, mines and entrenchments and reasonable morale to help them stem the hordes.
The Germans enter on GT1 and the first few turns are mainly advancing to contact, with the Ger OBDA hitting those few Pole's not in entrenchments. Once the first attacks go in it really is just a matter of playing the assaults out. There is little for each player to think about but there is lots of tension as any double 1 or double 6 may spell doom for one of the players. The Germans slowly ground down the defense capturing all the strongpoints, which were unoccupied for the most part, and getting two entrenchments under control with about 6 turns left. To get a minor win the German had to capture on further entrenchment, could the Poles hold out. Actually what happened a Germ attack led to all their forces being DEM which induced the Polish player to counter attack which resulted in all his units also being DEM. This was the opening the Germans needed and quickly reinforcing the assault hex took the 3rd Entrenchment needed with some style. Result a German minor win.
This is a solid scenario for a solitaire player as a two player game once the Pole has set up he has few options. I would expect to see a German win 75% of the time.
