The second scenario from Dutch open 2018.
Setup photo:
For the first game I took axis side and my usual opponent took axis. Polish Dragoons attacked the church and took it but a German counterattack destroyed them all. Allies brought more troops in the church and destroy axis’ supply train. After that . But axis’s unit in the fortress score one more medal and Germans won the game at the score of 6-3.
End photo:
For the second game we changed sides and we began the battle. Allies played general advance
but they had very poor dice rolls and they didn’t hit anything. Axis riposted with an attack in center and reduce to one figure one polish dragoons unit. Allies played recon in force and weak the unit in the church and the unit in the fortress. Axis played another attack in center and destroy one polish dragoons unit. Allies played behind enemy lines next and targeted the unit in the fortress but scored only on hit. Axis played probe in center and destroy the other polish dragoons unit. Allies played recon in their right, took the fortress and camouflaged three units. Axis then played an attack in their right and tried to eliminate one Polish Resistance unit but didn’t score any hits. Allies played an attack in their left and won the game at the score of 6-3.
End Photo:
Conclusion: Not a very good scenario, I think, polish resistance must advance in open ground to threw at last 2 dices. And if thy do this they are picked off by German infantry.
