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)
Defender: German (I. Bataillon, Infanterie-Regiment 26, 30. Infanterie-Division)

| 2022-10-20 | (A) Andy Bagley | vs | Matt Ellis | German win | Quite a simple scenario and would be good for anyone learning. Still quite challenging for more experienced players but not many options for the Poles against a skilful defender. As expected, the Germans withdrew slowly, avoiding casualties and ensuring that fire lines made it very risky for the Poles to outflank them. In response I tried to push in the centre as hard as I dared, planning to make a charge for buildings in the last couple of turns. I was hindered by failure to pass any MCs early on, and although my luck changed later it was two late by then. In the end I would have got four or five squad-equivalents but not six. Against a good defence I don't think that average DRs will get it done for the Poles; they need a few 2s and 3s for some K/KIA results to get the necessary casualties. |
| 2022-10-09 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Stephen Stewart | Polish win (VASL Log) | Great fun with Polish pushing aggressive from the start, trying to dodge some bullets. |
| 2022-10-06 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Melnikov | German win (VASL Log) | This one was quite swingy for both sides. Polish started the offensive with poor Prep Fire and several squad were broken during the movement. Starting with Turn 2 Polish changed the approach and broken all but one German defenders, mortar secured three critical hits, while their Sniper killed 8-1 Leader. German had a chance because not many Polish squads were left free to move and exploit the situation. The only German Leader had to run for half-map each Turn to Rally German squads one by one. Very tense and interesting game. |
| 2022-08-24 | (A) Owen Edwards | vs | Solitaire | Polish win | Stayed very tight till the last couple of half-turns - the Germans lost several squads at the top end of the map but successfully retreated into the awkward central woods near the church. The Poles, however, both managed to sneak and snake forward (albeit taking significant casualties), and got some very good fire dice/bad German MCs at the end, leading to most remaining Germans surrendering. Very good fun, felt balanced. |
| 2022-08-24 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Draw | German win. Solo. Worth a playing. Simple but a fair amount of options for each side and how to achieve the VCs. |
