Overview:

At about 0500 hours the call, Feuer Frei! (Open Fire!) rang out from the loudspeakers of the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein, ostensibly visiting the area to 'honor fallen comrades' of the Great War. The battleship had exited its moorings at Swinemunde on 24 August, and headed up the Baltic coast for a 200-mile journey that would end with the 'gunboat' firing the first shots of World War II. From its position in the canal, the ship's huge guns opened up at close range of about 500 meters. in this first fusillade, which lasted less than ten minutes, eight 280mm rounds, 59 150mm rounds and 600 rounds from the ship's 20mm AA guns were fired. The Polish defenders of Westerplatte sprang into action, spurred on by the incoming fire.

2024-04-13(D) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Polish winThe Polish suffered few losses from the opening shots of the Schleswig-Holstein and the shots mainly missed their marks after the opening BB turns, much to my relief. The Germans were aggressive in there advance, with weapons and men only focusing on known units, rather than blasting away at potential locations of resistance. I rolled 10 times for the Polish sniper to activate with no joy. By the end of Turn 4 the Germans lost too many of their men and chose to end the day and with for reinforcements instead. I fear the coming of more ship-based aggression, and the sting of Stukas to come...
