Overview:

After holding the Germans in front of Graudenz at the Ossa River, the Polish command made a blunder ordering the shifting of defensive positions. This created confusion, and the 16th Infantry commander ordered a general retreat. The Operational Group East Commander, General Mikolaj Boltuc, ordered aviation and the 4th Infantry Division to launch a counterattack to restore the situation. The Polish attack was initiated from the air, including the PZL 23 Karas (the Crucian Carp) and P.11 aircraft which bombed the Germans as they moved into positions for their own attack.

2020-08-11(A) Andy Bagley vs David Murray Polish winBit of a disappointment this one, and not just because the dice went against me. Both sides rushed into the village on turns 1-3, with the Polish air force doing little damage but disorganising the Germans so that my MGs in particular weren't where I wanted them. Then it became a slugfest with the two sides lined up on opposite sides of the road that bisects Board R and blasting away at each other. The Poles were better set up for this with two huge kill stacks, and eventually made it across the road to capture the extra building they needed for victory, although it took them until the last turn, and favourable dice rolls, to do this. Not as good as other PiF scenarios I've played.

2017-07-02(A) Tom Kearney vs Walt McWilliams German winI managed to survive the Polish airforce and get into the village. The counterattacking Poles whithered devastating fire that would have broken lesser troops and nearly forced me from the entire village. The Germans managed to rally toward the end and eked out a victory, despite me nearly failing a personal morale check.
