Disaster Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 After watching a documentary on the seige of Dien Bien Phu I decided to build this new scenario. I've tested it a couple times and made big changes to the force makeup each time. Now I need others to test it. Please try it out and give me feedback! Thanks all! Polish Fort (test) v.1 by Disaster Type: Defend the Polish fort against a heavy SS assault. Large battle. Short Description The SS have launched a surprise assault against a Polish fort on the edge of a river. The fort is very large and has three outlying redoubts, each with anti-tank guns and howitzers. However, the SS have a battalion of veteran infantry / pioneers, backed up by artillery with armour on its way to support the attack. The Polish commander must decide whether they can defend all or some of the fort. Reinforcements are on the way but will they help make a stand or merely cover the retreat? The battle begins as Polish defenders stumble from their barracks and race to the perimeter where stealthy SS assault engineers have crept within shooting distance of the fort's precious defensive artillery. A column of relief troops are on the other side of the river and must be shuttled across the river to support the bleary-eyed Poles. Things get worse as it becomes clear the SS mean to take the fort at all costs as armour and more infantry join the attack. As each fortified redoubt is the subject of an attack, the Polish commander must make quick decisions to support one side over another. These will not be an easy decisions. Basic order of battle The SS commander has lots at his command and initially has nearly a battalion within range. However, the Polish redoubts are fortified with barbed wire, mines, and stone walls. Their anti-tank and howitzers will pound any troops that stay in one place for long. These must be destroyed if the armour is to have any chance of overruning the Polish positions! Both sides can call artillery strikes. A German attack caught by a bombardment will be a slaughter. But the Poles have few places to hide from a German fire mission. If the Germans are stopped at the wire, the Poles will gain time for Allied armour to show up. Until then, their two companies must defend with tooth and nail. Objectives The German commander will gain points for taking any of the three outlying redoubts, but cannot allow the Poles to hold onto the center of the fort at all. The Polish commander must make a decision, whether they should commit all their resources to holding or pull out as many units as possible across the river. Time 50 moves.
