Overview:

The German XXII Panzer Corps invaded Poland from Slovakia on 1 September. Their mission was to make a breakthrough in order to encircle Army Krakow. A Border Defense Regiment put up stiff resistance but suffered heavy losses, and a breakthrough was imminent. General Szylling, the Army Krakow commander, ordered his reserve, the 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade to block the Germans in the Jordanow area and prevent any encirclement. The Brigade was reinforced with the 1st Podhale Rifles and heavy “antitank” artillery. They moved during the night and went into combat almost immediately after establishing defensive positions.

2021-07-15(A) Richard Jenulis vs Richard King Polish winFinished with 82 of the 85 VP needed. Every German AFV malfunctioned their MA at least once. At one point I had 8 vehicles with MA malfunctioned. In one turn rolled 6 three times in row to disable the MA and real the vehicles. Both aircraft dropped their bombs but did little damage. The OBA rained down on a HMG position most of the game and rolled 10 & 11 for no effect. A good scenario but long. Took two full day sittings to complete.

2019-03-23(D) James Lewis vs German In progressThe German player brought in all of his tanks from the southern part of the board. An ATG tried to pop some of his incoming tanks, but malfunctioned on the second attempt. As his tanks went deeper into enemy territoy, the second ATG opened fire, but missed and lot rate of fire. This will be a long struggle for the Poles. There was some luck with a cluster of fortified troops guarding hill 445 - enemy tanks tried to move around and out-flank, but a few successful mortar hits commenced. Unfortunately, other attemps to destroy an enemy truck produced a fanatic German crew and two heros - the crack troops were hiding in that truck.
Eventually, the working ATG destroyed a couple of tanks, and the Germans learned a lesson that you do not try to do PB on the malfunction crew - it cost them dearly with a MOL shoved down their turret.
2019-01-21(A) nathan wegener vs Paul Works Polish winNo smoke on first turn so Germans got raked on entry. Lost at least 4 tanks to Machine Gun fire so very disheartening. Highlight for me was getting both bombers to hit a target - breaking a MG nest and killing the big mortar and crew.
This takes a lot of effort and can go badly quickly for either side so not sure I would try this again.
2019-01-21(D) Paul Works vs Nathan Wegener Polish winI set up multiple layers of defense where at least two potential-light-tank-killer guns/MGs could see most/all important hexes. I was helped by his lack of SDs on turn one (only 2 or 3 out of 13 attempts) - as a result, I was able to heavily attrit him during his entry.
