Overview:
The Polish Warsaw Mechanized Brigade was moving south to block the German advance over the Vistula, where the 4th Infantry Division had established a bridgehead near the village of Krasnik. The Brigade was also reinforced with the 1st Light Tank Battalion and 11th Armored Battalion. The Poles attacked the small bridgehead with overwhelming numbers, but were uncoordinated in their efforts. The Germans committed their reserves. Army level heavy antitank guns maneuvered to block the Polish armored breakthrough.Attacker: Polish (Reinforced elements Warsaw Mechanized Brigade)

| 2024-12-06 | (A) John Garlic | vs | Jeremy Busby | German win | Poles really have to blitz to keep German defenders off-balance. | ||
| 2021-06-17 | (D) Michael Rodgers | vs | Bruno L'Archeveque | German win | Give the Poles the balance and maybe one more turn. Delete the 88. Fun early war scenario. | ||
| 2020-08-24 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | German win | This seems to be a tough one on the Poles. It is hard to get enough armor and infantry support across the bridge before the Germans can set up their guns. The Poles got bogged down in the village with a couple of wrecks and immobilized tanks. I would like to play this again with the Poles blitzing through the village, trying to get behind the German infantry...lots of risks due to the Heat on the 75, plus street fighting for the defender. Best of luck with the Poles! | ||

| 2019-06-02 | (D) Tom Kearney | vs | Walt McWilliams | German win | Despite malf’ing my 75mm infantry gun on its second shot the Germans managed to eke this one out. Walt played an excellent game! |
