After a week of war, the German invasion of Poland ran according to plans. German troops of the 8. Armee were marching eastward on Warsaw, and on the other side of the Bzura river were Polish troops withdrawing in the same direction. Stretched along the Bzura, protecting the army's flank, was the 30. Infanterie-Division. On the morning of 9 September, the Polish Knoll-Kownacki Operational Group launched a large-scale assault across the Bzura. For the first (and would it prove later, only) time during the 1939 conflict the Poles mounted an offensive.
The German tried to retreat in good order but were scattered by the Polish troops... A short and fun scenario with a nice opponent even if I conceded in the sixth turn.

Fast-playing scenario due to its tiny and dicey nature. Depending on German setup, some strong Prep might be a good idea for the Poles. The Germans cannot afford many slip-ups on defense and must perform a near-perfect fighting withdrawal, though one broken MG and they are probably screwed. They also only have two leaders, and I lost one of mine Turn 1. Snipers are a potential game-breaker. Mid-game I started bleeding HS, but I held him off from behind the wall for an extra turn and that helped make this come down to a silly endgame rush. I thought he had me, but I connected on a 12+2 shot to break one of his squads parked in a building to preserve the win. I do like board FrFA, but this scenario is not for me.
