Polish-Soviet border September 17th 1939 AAR

[Anatoli]

A game played with David down at the club (the previous weekend), this was actually the very first proper battle (not counting the demo game months ago) where I got to play Poles vs Soviets.

In this particular game I ran the Polish "Border Protection Corps"/"KOP" vs David's "Fast tank company" made up of BT-5 tanks supported by motorized infantry. This may have been partially because I had not played for for a few months, but the game was super tense and great fun from start to finish.

The lists were only 1000 points

Polish army: Confident/Trained

Battalion HQ
2 companies with 2 platoons each
1 platoon of Sappers
1x 37mm AT gun platoon (3 guns)
1x 75mm light artillery platoon (4 guns)

Soviet army Confident/Trained

1 BT-5 HQ
2x BT-5 tank platoons with 4 tanks in each
1x platoon of 45mm AT guns (2 guns)
1x platoon of motorized infantry
1x mortar platoon (4 mortars)
Sporadic air support Polikarpov I-15b with bombs

Scenario "Hold the line" from the main FoW rulebook
