Having played through the first few turns on Tuesday evening, we gathered (virtually) again the following night. It was a sufficiently busy evening that I will spread the remaining report over two posts.
This btl of Pz Rgt 36 got off to a good start by getting stuck into the Polish armoured car squadron.
In a bloody exchange the Poles died heroically, taking the remains of the PzII company with them.
Meanwhile Simon had arrived at the helm of Schtz Rgt 12. Here are the chaps climbing out of their trucks on the road.
Having killed off the armoured cars, the plucky PzI co found itself in range of the armoured train's guns!
More gratuitous train porn
Having reinforced the front line the Poles were looking pretty solid...
...so it was all down to the infantry. Simon had deployed both battalions ready to assault the Polish infantry positions.
The attack of I/Schtz Rgt 12 went rather well and - at the cost of a company-worth of casualties they carried the position.
II/Schtz Rgt 12 on the other hand were not feeling it. On being ordered to attack they promptly failed their morale check and fled back to their furious Rgt HQ.
But help was at hand - or was it. The Stukas reappeared and maintained their unbroken record of not hitting anything. Another triumph for the Polish air defence technique of shouting and waving cavalry sabres!
Encouraged by the German reverses, Jerry saddled up 19 Uhlans and trotted SW.
Part 3 coming soon!

Great stuff- I wonder if the Germans will break through if they just keep driving forward...?
Cheers,

"I wonder if the Germans will break through if they just keep driving forward..."
I wonder! The tension is papable. No mention of the heroic 35th Panzer Regiment I notice, back into the breach again, even if the entire Regiment is down to two stands plus the regimental commander.
So do I!
It would be a shame to spoil the finale of a particularly magnificent two night game. And whatever happens there is the comfort that the Poles win in six years time, although they will be stuck with communism for a long time after that....
Could the plucky Poles stop WW2 before it's even got going? :)
Wow, epic stuff
Can't wait for part three
