Overview:

At Mlawa, the Polish 20th Infantry Division, ensconced behind extensive fortifications and minefields, was able to repulse the first frontal assault of the “Wodrig” Corps – a battlegroup of infantry and cavalry formations. General von Kuechler ordered the 1st Cavalry Brigade to outflank the Polish defenses and encircle the city. Crossing the Ulakowka River east of Mlawa, the brigade had turned west and was attempting to slip past the trenches there when the horsemen encountered their Polish counterparts, the Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade. The clash between the two brigades is one of the rare examples of cavalry-versus-cavalry combat in the Second World War.
Attacker: German (Kavallerie-Brigade 1)

2020-06-02(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Polish winA great little scenario where the Poles have lots of decisions when to fire and when to stay hidden. After the Germans avoided a critical fire lane, the Poles were able to keep most of the Germans on Board 5 thus slowing their advance. Melees were fairly divided and the Poles were able to get a few good shots as the Germans tried for the exit. Good fun with Dan Best.
2019-11-08(D) Andrew Luden vs Rick Luden German winA set up error on my part, and a critical sniper roll (at improved SAN due to German balance) led to a rapid German victory. Can totally see this being a tense and bloody scenario after the explosive start, but when a potential K/3 got erased due to illegal placement an entire flank got enveloped only for the 9-2 to die to a sniper and have his MMG nest break... Turn 3 it was already over... Would replay, but was not enjoyable this time round.
2019-08-28(D) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron German win
