Gentlemen,
New scenario available for testing:
NAME: Death Road to Oltarzew
SCENARIO DATE: 9 September 1939
[Oltarzew, 15 km W of Warsaw]: [H2H] [HISB] [TS/GD]: By September 8th, the lead elements of the 4th Panzer Division, to which the motorized infantry of the "Leibstandarte" were subordinated, had reached the southwestern outskirts of Warsaw. The advance unit of this division, "Aufklärungsabteilung 7" (Recon Battalion 7), proceeded toward Oltarzew and Domaniew but quickly found itself in a defensive struggle against increasingly strong counterattacks from Polish units attempting to break through to Warsaw from the west. After repulsing a number of attacks and destroying several armored trains, the recon unit withdrew southward into Pruskow, leaving open the left flank and rear of its parent division, now facing Warsaw. As the SS troopers of the Leibstandarte arrived at nightfall, they and Aufklärungsabteilung 7 were ordered to capture Domaniew, Oltarzew and Kaputy, thus securing the open flanks of Reinhardt's 4th Panzer Division. Near the town of Oltarzew in the middle of the night, troops of the LSSAH and AA7 collided with Polish troops moving east who were desperate to effect a link-up with Warsaw's defenses. In the light of the morning, Kurt Meyer described the scene at Oltarzew as a, "death road".
