Intended for play as Human vs Either AI or Head to Head
Scenario Briefing: After a week of marching and maneuver, 207th Infantry Division assaulted the outer Gdynia defenses on September 8th. While the reinforced 322nd Infantry Regiment was held up by the Polish 1st Marine Rifle Regiment at Wejherowo, the 368th Infantry Regiment met only thinly-spread resistance and advanced rapidly into the woods west of the port city. Threatened with encirclement, the 1st Marine Rifles retreated toward Reda while Colonel Dabek sent reserves to stabilize the front. Over the next two days, the Polish commander shuffled his battalions back and forth to counterattack and shore up the most threatened sectors. Von Tiedemann proceeded cautiously, attempting to leverage his superior numbers to force the defenders into retreat. Again threatened with encirclement, 1st Marine Rifle Regiment abandoned Reda on the night of September 10th-11th and Rumia fell the next day after a bloody fight. By the evening of September 11th-12th, the Poles were backed up to the edge of Kepa Oksywska (Ox Hill), a prominent plateau north of Gdynia.
Von Tiedemann hoped to assault Gdynia in force on September 12th, but the same maneuvering which had forced the Poles to retreat had also left the 207th in a precarious position. After their rapid advance on September 8th-9th, the 322nd and 368th regiments had become clustered around Reda and Rumia and had lost contact with the 378th Infantry Regiment which remained further south alongside Eberhard's Danzig troops. Concerned that the Poles might exploit the gap in his lines, Von Tiedemann decided to withhold the 368th Infantry Regiment from the assault. It would adopt a defense posture around Rumia, protecting the southern flank of the reinforced 322nd Infantry Regiment while it attacked south across Kepa Oksywska.
Unbeknownst to Von Tiedemann, Dabek was fully aware of his intentions - 3rd Reserve Battalion had captured a courier carrying a copy of his orders. Dabek decided to counter the German attack with an attack of his own. ON Battalion V would demonstrate against Rumia while three other battalions attempted to slip around the German defenses and make for Reda. In this way, the Poles might encircle and destroy a sizeable a portion of the German force. The next two days would mark a significant increase in combat around Gdynia, but, despite ferocious fighting and heavy casualties, neither side would inflict a decisive blow and the fighting around Gdynia would continue for another week.
Recommended Rules: (Default)
Alternative Assault Resolution, Artillery Set Up, Recon Spotting, Virtual Supply Trucks, Optional Surrender, Low Visibility Air Effects, Quality Fatigue Modifier, Counter Battery Fire, Night Fatigue, Programmed Weather.
Additionally, Delayed Disruption Reporting will provide a more challenging experience for the attacking player.
Design Notes:
1. This scenario starts as a draw. For either player to achieve a major victory, he must defend his own objective hexes and capture his opponents.
