A quick glance at the VC and the OOBs for the scenario very quickly sowed the seeds of doubt about this scenario, very simply to win score 5 more VP's than your opponent, a little twist is that should the Poles get 5 VP's ahead the Germans get a chance of more tank reinforcements. Poles get vps for exiting the board as well. The issue is that the Germans have 3 x 16 OBDA and once the Poles come out of cover they will be subjected to heavy bombardment. As a gamer I always look of not to lose a game and a quick way for the Polish player to lose is make a dash for the edge of the board. So I thought I would try and ease my way round the German defenses, Bangla has set his A/T guns in the centre so I opted to move the Poles on either flanks, however Bangla being the canny play covered one flank with his PzIII and move INF to the other, he also pushed leaders forward to direct OBDA. The initial exchanges where equal but I noted that each 42 Bombardment resulted in a step loss for the pluck Poles. By GT10 the VP score was Germans 4 Pols 2 and I decided to withdraw back to the woods and see if Bangla wanted to advance. He did not wish to advance and after 6 more turns we called it a draw. **Hopeless scenario really, no doubt there is a chance for both sides to win but it calls for poor play or set up for this to happen IMHO **
