Overview:

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.
Attacker: Polish (57th Infantry Regiment, 14th Infantry Division)

2020-10-18(D) Andy Goldin vs David Ready German winA challenging and fast playing scenario where the German must stage a "fighting withdrawal" (delay) and preserve his combat power against a numerically superior force. David massed his force on my left to take advantage of the woods at the start line and quickly broke and captured one and a half squads for failure to rout. I managed to get a KIA on one of his squads moving across open ground but knew I couldn't continue to sustain losses at that rate. The next turn I played coy with my re-positioned mortar team and didn't take a decent shot at a squad in the woods in the hope of getting a better target. Sure enough, in a hasty move, David moved his kill stack (a platoon of squads, the MMG and his -1 leader) into woods just barely in my LOS. A long rate tear with the -1 modifier on effects, some hot dice for me, and a long series of failed MCs reduced his kill stack to a bloody mess. At that point he had neither the firepower nor the manpower to push me back, so he resigned.
