The number of defending units on board at game start, and therefore the number of reserves which will arrive later, are decided by dice roll. 'Defence Line' is one of the 4 standard scenarios included in the core rulebook. All the Polish armour and anti-tank guns were destroyed. The HS-123 hung around for a strafing run but this had little effect.ĭespite significant German losses (20 /38), by German turn 9 the Poles had exceeded their battle ratingĪnd the game was over. The road junction fell shortly afterwards.
Infantry, PzIIs and mortars hadĬo-operated well. The Germans suffered some casualties, but a timely air attack from an HS-123 turned the tide.Īs can be seen, the Germans managed to take the copse and associated ridge feature. Polish reinforcements arrive in the shape of three 7tps.Ī tank action develops in front of the rearmost ridge. The Polish 37mm by the road junction was quickly silenced. The 20mm cannons on the PzIIs are very effective against infantry and gun teams.
The roll for the number of Polish defenders was reasonable: two anti-tank guns plus infantry were deployed, but there were still some empty trenches near the road junction. Objectives were the copse on the near ridge, the road junction and the church on the far ridge. German scout units plus the allowed 3 other units (in this case 3 PzIIs) have been deployed. The game was set up with the Germans attacking from the near baseline.
