After a late war game I thought some early actions in the Poland 39 campaign would be in order for a September IABSM game.? I stole this scenario directly from Rob Avery's excellent Vis Lardica site.?
Grudziadz is a town in the Polish Corridor and the Germans were actually attacking from East Prussia.? The attackers were from the reserve 10th Panzer Rgt. They had a load of light tanks-- 2 platoons of 2) Pz Is and 3) Pz IIs and a HQ platoon of 2 more Pz IIs and another Pz I and a Pz I Befelswagen.??
They also had a company of 3 platoons of infantry, a 4 gun MMG platoon, 2 AA Halftracks? ?The last 2 units came in after 5 'Time' cards.
The town was strategically important because it had several military schools and staff offices.? But it was lightly defended.? Only infantry and Border units (KOP) and some artillery.
Jon had was the defending Poles.? He had 3 2) section platoons of infantry.? One of KOP troops and the other regulars.? They were large sections of 10 men though.? The regular platoons also had an ATR and a Lt Mortar.? Also 3? taczankas and 3 37mm Bofors ATGs.? 2 medium mortars and some artillery--which never came in.? Rob had some PZL 37 aircraft to bring in but alas, I did not.? All the Poles could be dug in within the perimeter of the town outskirts.
