Overview:
At the initial stage of the German invasion of Poland, the XXII Corps had orders to break the defense south of Cracow, defended by the Polish 10th (Motorized) Cavalry Brigade. In charge of the brigade was Colonel St. Maczek, who immediately started to use the brigade's 121st Light Tank Company as a kind of "fire brigade", thrown in at threatened parts of the front in order to secure any breach. - - - - Maczek Fire Brigade is a tourney-sized 5.5 turn scenario. German light tanks and elite infantry from the 4th Light Division have orders to secure 12 buildings defended by Polish infantry. The "fire brigade" in the form of Vickers tanks enter as Polish reinforcements.Attacker: German (4. leichte Division)

| 2023-09-10 | (D) Vic Lauterbach | vs | JM | German win | Jim drew the Germans in this early war fight and took the balance. We both read the journal analysis, so I went with a modified "hold the final 5" defense but put both MGs on the hill (50M5 and 50Q8) hoping they'd break 468s moving in OG (they didn't). Jim sent two tanks after the HMG and lost one but the other broke the MMC and killed my 9-1 in an OVR. My weak armor held its own against Jim's even weaker armor but couldn't help my infantry except for a PB shot by one Vickers dual turret tankette. The key was Jim driving three MMCs out of building 17oU7 in GT4. After that I didn't have enough GO MMC to retake buildings even if I'd had the chance. I should have parked all my tankettes next to buildings. Jim: It looks tough for the Germans to cross a board and take 10+ buildings in just six turns, but my 468s passed the MCs and did it (ended with 14 buildings). The armor fight was mainly a sideshow, but my Panzers killed two Polish tankettes going for OVRs. We agreed this one deserves its classic status. | ||
