Date: September 1st, 1939 - Size: Medium - Location: Lodz
Intended for play as Axis Human vs Allied AI or Head to Head
Scenario Briefing: Deployed on the border northeast of Oppeln, Walter von Reichenau's powerful 10th Army was assigned the main effort against Warsaw. Led by two Panzer divisions, Von Reichenau's forces were to smash through the Polish border defenses and push towards the Polish capital from the southwest via Lodz and Kielce. Julius Rommel's Lodz Army opposed the German advance.
Rommel's forces faced long odds. Against a larger German army supported by ten Panzer battalions, the Polish general could count on just a few companies of tankettes and two armored trains. With insufficient manpower to defend the the entire border, Rommel assigned two divisions to defend strong points near the border and held two more in reserve that could occupy the fortifications on the Warta and Widawka rivers. Hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, the Lodz Army's task was not to defend the border indefinitely, but to slow the Germans down and buy time for the still-mobilizing Prusy Army to concentrate.
