German breakthrough the Polish lines 1500pts EW AAR
« on: October 02, 2011, 04:39:15 PM »
Background
September 3rd, 1939. German forces are pouring in over the Polish border while the Polish border defenses are crumbling fast. The German 4th Panzerdivision is part of the German army group South heading towards Warsaw. Having recently fought against the Polish Volhynian cavalry brigade near Mokra these troops have already had their first taste of battle. While the Polish forces withdrew to their next defense line the 4th Panzer prepared its next move, supporting the army group South in its breakthrough attempt in order to clear the last obstacle between the Germans and the Polish capital.
…………….
German light panzer division vs Polish infantry battalion: 1500points
(Forces included a few options that could be counted as “illegal” , such as the Germans including more infantry and the Polish including the “wz.34 armored cars”. Nothing that tipped the balance.)

Germans were attacking and had 1st turn.

Randomizing the effects of the “previous battle” resulted in the Polish having won, but the Germans had not suffered enough losses to their Panzer force to make either side suffer from negative penalties and forcing troops into reserve. Both armies started out fully deployed on the table.

Check my blog for the full battle report (very pic heavy):

Thanks  :)

Sadly we do not get to play FoW too often due to schedule restrictions. But I always enjoy the game when we do.
