Scenario WhEa037

I thought my poles were holding tenaciously and that the Germans spent way too long dealing with my rear guard.....but, it was a crushing German victory with 61 vp to poland's 32.

The hun got a point each for the 39 polish steps lost ( sounds bad when i say it out loud ) and 1 point each for 22 steps exited. They got none for town hexes, the poles concentrated too much here perhaps. The Poles got a point each for the 24 steps killed and 8 for the town.

I think the very early & unlikely entry of the Germans handicapped the poles right at turn 2. They were forced to deploy the rear guard too far west. They deployed their ATGs there, which forced the Germans to lead with their infantry. It slowed them, but not much. The Luftwaffe was a huge factor, several times the stukas hit hexes for 2Xs

This was a tense scenario with lots of maneuver AND lots of assault. The frequency of air support kept both sides aggressively moving and redeploying their AA guns. It was a running fight, both sides trying hard to move east as fast as they could. The German played a little tentative, the poles were more aggressive/desperate.
