The title refers to Brig. Gen. Jozef Kustron of the Polish 21st Mountain Division. With his entire division cut off from supplies and food, he placed himself at the head of a, in his own personal case, suicidal attack against the Germans that were barring their escape route to the Hungarian border.

In this scenario, the Polish troops need to exit the map through a line of German defenders. The task seems ominous from the start, the only thing in the attackers favour is the densely wooded area of attack. However, the German defenders hold back a few companies on the back road through the wilderness, just in case they need to move quickly.

The Poles strike at both ends of the front but don’t get far. On the wooded hill they are quickly contained and even trapped in a hopelessly disadvantaged position. On the plains, they are cut down mercilessly by murderous opportunity and bombardment fire.

Two hours into the battle, the Polish commander surrenders when his troops are either trapped or scattered. Having already lost 2 officers and 10 steps of his brave troops, he knew that the game was up when the completely unscathed German troops started assaulting and mopping up the Polish stragglers.

This was a weird scenario, especially because from previous recorded plays on PG HQ, the Poles should be heavy favourites to pull this one off. Both of us are firmly believing that the Poles don’t have a chance in hell to ever win this. If the number of fighting troops would be reversed , and the road through the woods not existing, it would give the attacker a fighting chance. Heck, it might turn this poorly balanced battle into a real firecracker. As it stands, we can only rate it a measly 2.
