This AAR consists of the Tweets I did of the scenario as I played it. Each Tweet had a picture and these were copied to my CSW blog. You can follow it starting here:

There may be breaks in the thread up to two weeks, keep scrolling until you find the next post on the scenario.

(Note that as these were tweets there is some brevity in the style.)

0630 the Germans aggressively push forward with their tanks as the Polish column enters and is forced to deploy early.

0645 The Poles continue to deploy and prepare to push the Germans who have taken up line with their tanks south of town.

0700 The Polish infantry take the town and this forces the German tanks back to avoid infantry assault.

0715 A Vickers destroys a Pz II step. Pole infantry move forward under ineffective German artillery. Panzers fall back.

0730 Polish infantry assaults destroying the Pz II platoon with ATR fire and disrupting a Pz I plt in the small woods.

0745 fighting continues in the small wood. Rest of Polish forces set up for the attack. Both sides fire to no effect.

0800 Poles destroy a Pz I plt, then press the attack forcing some panzers to fall back. German artillery has effect.

Germans make their reinforcement roll start of 0815. 2 Pz III plts and 3 Pz II plts from 2d Panzer Div come on west edge of the map.

0815 Fighting erupts across the entire line as the Poles press the attack. Some troops waver as German fire has effect.

0830 Poles push to try to break through between the east field & woods on Bd 10. Both sides display a terrible resolve.

0845 the Poles try to infiltrate on the west flank while pressing the attack on the east. Tank battle claims a Vickers.

0900 The Poles push the east flank killing a Pz II plt, the Germans fall back. The Pz III Co. defends the E-W road

0915 The attack continues though the woods, Pole inf kills a Pz I plt. Pz III Co. adjusts. Fog of War ends turn early.

0930 a lull in the east woods fighting as both sides adjust. Artillery hammers both sides and some troops waiver.

0930 Polish infantry push forward in the west woods but suffers from cannon and MG fire from a Pz II platoon.

0945 The Poles push to break through the German lines on the east edge. They face heavy fire from the Panzers.

1000 the Polish assault continues on the east flank. One TKS platoon breaches the line and makes a dash for the south.

1015 Fighting on east flank is intense. A PZ III step is lost & the Poles push through. The Germans adjust.

1030 The Poles, under artillery fire, push through to the south edge. One TKS platoon makes it off the edge.

1045 The Poles struggle to get through the breach under artillery and direct fire. An infantry platoon makes the escape.

1045 In the west woods the assaults continue to be fought with the Poles getting slowly whittled down.

1100 The Poles push another platoon off and are poised to exit more. A Vickers kills a Pz III. A Pz II plugs the gap.

1100 In the west not much action but some Polish troops flee. Fog of War ends the turn early after an artillery duel.

1115 A TKS plt escapes. Pole infantry on the edge suffers German tank & artillery fire. The Vickers plt is destroyed.

1115 in the west the Poles take infantry losses while a TKS platoon withdraws

1130 A Pole infantry platoon and leader escapes. The rest get pounded by artillery. Remaining Poles start to fall back.

1130 The Germans are winning the fight in the West woods. Polish cdr orders all troops not making it off to fall back.

1145 As German tanks hunt down the BN Cdr and a HMG section, the last infantry to try for board edge rallies.

1145 In the west the Polish troops fall back to the perimeter while the last of the woods fighting continues

1200 1 more inf step and ldr escapes. Even if the Germans winning the last assaults they will decisively lose the game.

The scenario is over. A decisive victory for the Polish troops at 51 to 17 points.

This was a good scenario and was pretty intense throughout. I thought the Poles had a tough row to hoe, especially with the German tank reinforcements coming in right away. But they managed to prevail by playing very aggressive, moving fast and assaulting only when a key position had to be taken.

I thought the German Panzer line would be a tough one to break, but the Poles manages to crack it near the board edge and swarm past it.

The west flank fight was no too exciting but important as the Poles tied down many German troops on that flank.

I recommend this scenario. 1200 1 more inf step and ldr escapes. Even if the Germans winning the last assaults they will decisively lose the game.
