Overview:

World War II had started. The mighty German military machine was on the march. One of the first actions to be taken was to capture the Danzig Corridor. This was assigned to the 4th Army of Army Group North who launched its attack against the Polish Pormorze Army, which defended the corridor with five infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade. Some Polish units like the Pomorska Cavalry Brigade attempted to check the German advance and initially had some success. General Guderian personally directed elements of his 3rd Panzer against Polish defenses on the Brahe River where the Poles had attempted to burn a bridge. . .

2024-03-11(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German winThe Germans were able to get up to the bridge, as well as have a flanking force approach with footbridges in an attempt to split the defenses. Fantastic shots kept breaking the Poles, but they, in turn, kept rallying and getting back to defensive ground. By the halfway point, I decided to throw Germans across the bridge, while a very unlucky critical hit from a Polish gun did bupkiss against a footbridge assault engineer who subsequently placed his gear to create a path across the river.

I do think that the bridge's increased movement costs are a bit too harsh. 2MF for Infantry per hex is far more than enough, instead of the 3 the scenario calls for. Repairing the bridge was next to impossible as the Poles always managed to break the squad(s) doing the work, or worse, the +3 DRM forced all 6 (or so) checks to fail. I thought the Germans would lose this one until I realised the exit VP is doubled. Run units off-board no matter what, they are worth their weight in gold!
