The first German attack on Warsaw was more of a probe by elements of the 4th Panzer Division on the 8th of September. This probe occurred in the Ochota district and was easily repulsed. The fighting in Warsaw largely abated after these initial thrusts as German units were drawn off to counter the Bzura counteroffensive. The final assault on Warsaw had to be delayed until the conclusion of the Bzura River fighting. The Germans amassed a thousand artillery pieces for the final assault. The City was surrounded by 13 divisions.

Notes:*
This scenario is based loosely on the DASL version. It has not been historically fact checked. It was merely my intention to bring it to the SP format.*
German Mission: Clear the ATGs for the main body to advance.*
**
Aftermath:*
The Germans pounded the City for two days culminating in a massive air and artillery attack on September 25 that went down in legend as Black Monday. The Germans and Poles were locked in bloody close quarters combat. That Black Monday the Germans made little gains but soon the defense would collapse.*
