FYI, the scenario Death Road at Oltarzew is now in the H2H queue and available for testing! Hope you enjoy it!

I played this scenario with Alex as part of his beta effort.
It is based on stock scenario Bump in the Night.
Alex has modified the objectives, and added game turns to this one as well as adding starshells for the night engagement, and removing mine-fields.
I find this an improvement on the original stock game, and it also has a better playability due to the improvements made within the night rules formats.
Should be a good meet and greet engagement, or the Polish player can head for exit hexes.
Different strategies to be employed, which adds nice complexity.
I protected the exit hexes as the German, and Alex held to the objectives, which gave him an early advantage in our battle.
If I had concentrated (read Alex's mind perhaps) ;), I would have had the advantage early.
We fought to the end over the last objective hex.
I recommend using starshells as the German player, as I conserved mine, and ended up not using them all.
Good scenario.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up!!

Copied this over from the main threads to put it in the right forum

The masterful Von Luck has decided to tango with the Evil Night dweller and we've set up our newest game "death road at oltarzew" a remake of bump in the night by schwerpunkt
so far this has been a walk in the park.. literally.. my boys are double timing just to get into position and we have no real transportation except for Francis the talking mule and his cousins pulling some guns and a few of Custers 7th Calvary riding about with no sense of direction...
Without having any prior knowledge of the scenario, one does not know where the Little Hitler thugs are at.. I'm sure John will bring me some pain in a few turns, but as of turn 2, we're just marching down road to Warsaw looking for some chickens and pigs to grind into some krakowska,

Za Polskę!

we're up to turn 3, the going is rather slow for the Polish walkathon, But we have established a front line for any probing Scout cars. We did actually have our first contact just south of Ozaruw at the river, a brief flash and a hasty retreat by my Calvary as we encountered a PSW.. no casualties, but I'm certain that will end soon.

A couple of fire fights have taken place as our probes have found each other, Poles were on top with capturing a PSW group and scoring a few kills on some MC platoons, and we did kick over a BMW in the mud.. vs. a couple or horses and a few Cav losses.

turn 5

Some serious fighting south of Ozaruw.. lot's of blind shooting and I was able to maneuver the Poles into some great positions defense-wise (according to the official rules) One can never trust what the rules say as all warfare is merely chance and luck as we all know... No recorded kills, but a retreat equals victory!  we came, we think we saw them, and we kicked some arse.... we think...


Ah yes, you pussy wannabees who can't fight in the dark.. get off your arse and learn to play CS in the dark.., you've been bangin'the ol' lady for years in the dark.. how is this any different? John's not scairt he's a man! and so are my Poles.. driving forward with nothing but victory on our minds..!!!! you cannot ever say you are the best until you take on the best you ever will.. Von Luck has no fear.. he brings his game to the Devil's table AND WE HAVE FUN!!

SO...... I challenge any of of you slackers to "Get off your lazy bums", tell us the story of your best game.. get the hell back into the fray and quit bitchin and get killin'
where is that Hawk dude? .. come out and play Eric... where is Gil, and Tony and Laz... Bah...
Come get some"boys". Von luck don't cry... he just starts another game..

Any updates on this one? How's it going?

Well. you're asking 4 for some INTEL are ye?

Ok
up to turn 9
My mate John, has, pushed me out of south Ozaruw rather rudely, lots of fighting in the dark as we've only just began to use the starshells. I've officially wasted my 2nd one trying to get an angle and simply got my ass kicked by his MG platoons! those $#@@@$#!!! bastages...
Poles are really up against the wall here with such limited maneuverability, walking all the way home and the horses are even tired.. those PSWs are able to close down the roads to the exits fairly quickly leaving me with little options but to stand and fight for the VPS on map, John's played a great game thus far.. I'll tell him to comment on his plan here.. maybe I'll catch something helpful ya feckin postal worker!.. LOL

Building up a defense at Oltarzew, but he's just walking me backwards with his superior firepower, I can't even get dug in to try and hold back the swarms of Hitler loving thugs..

stat wise 62 allied losses, 33 axis losses, 72 points at an axis major loss still

still lots of fighting to do, will post up in another few turns where we are for you
