Battle for the Warta Line


Central Poland, September 6th, 1939: For two days the Poles desperately tried to hold a line in the
vicinity of the Warta and Widawka Rivers but were gradually pushed back. However, the stubborn resistance
of the crack Polish 10th Division was threatening to throw the German invaders severely off their time
schedule and might enable the Poznan to escape almost certain encirclement. Determined to break through,
the Germans brought up heavy reinforcements including the elite Liebstandarte Regiment and attacked once
again.

Game Length: 9 turns

For the Germans to win they must exit 8 squads off the east edge.
For the Poles to win they must prevent the German breakthrough.

Germans: Squads, MMG's, LMG's, Radio, AFV's, ART
Poles: Squads, MMG's, LMG's, ATR's, Radio

BOARDS: #3, #5

Aftermath: The battered remnants of the Polish 10th Division extracted a heavy toll from the attackers, but
equipment wise they were no match for the Germans. Although a total breakthrough was prevented, by September 
7th little hope remained and a forced retreat with the gallant survivors was started towards the Vistula.
