After a break that had lasted a few weeks I got a game of FoW going with David down at the club. Both of us wanted to try out new and untried lists from my September campaign book and picked armies without revealing anything to the opponent - I always like that concept since it removes any chance of tailoring the army lists to counter a specific enemy threat.
The lists we used looked like this:
Polish armoured unit (Reconnaissance) [Fearless/Trained]
HQ: Wz.34 armoured car with MG
Tankette platoon: 3xMG, 2x 20mm guns, Roman Orlik
Tankette platoon: 3xMG, 2x 20mm guns
Armoured car platoon of wz.34 cars with MG's
Mounted kawalerii company with 2 platoons (Fearless/Veteran)
Cyclist company with 2 platoons, upgraded with 2 AT rifles, 2 light mortars and 4 HMGs
Kawalerii AT-gun platoon with 4 guns (Fearless/Veteran)
Kawalerii light artillery battery (75mm) (Fearless/Veteran)
Limited air support Pzl.23 Karas bomber
Soviet Medium tank company [Confident/Trained]
HQ: T-28 Obr.38
T-28 Obr.38 platoon
T-28 Obr.38 platoon
Motorized infantry company with 1 platoon
Anti-tank gun platoon
Mortar company with 1 platoon
BA-10 armoured car platoon
When I saw David's army I laughed out loud, it would be one hell of a challenge for my lawnmower sized tankettes. There was still some hope, because we rolled "Counter Attack" and as I was a Motorized force (cavalry) force I became the defender against David's tank army.
The table setup was not ideal for any of us, the deployment of my troops as well as how the terrain was placed made it difficult to plan for the two ambushes (one extra thanks to Roman Orlik) I had at my disposal.
Ultimately I kept the armoured cars in reserve, Roman Orlik and his tankette platoon in ambush and the kawalerii AT-gun platoon in ambush as well.
Check my blog for the full AAR and lots of pictures from this very intense battle:
