Introduction |
---|
In front of the main line of Polish resistance, the Algerian 7th Spahi Regiment and part of the Polish 4th Rifle Regiment formed a screen in front of the Polish main line of resistance. The cavalrymen had patrolled this border during the previous winter and had good knowledge of the terrain, while the Poles were reluctant to cross into Swiss territory without having first fought the Germans. Soon enough the German XLI Motorized Corps arrived, willing to give them the opportunity. |
Conclusion |
---|
The German attack drove back the Algerians, who then passed through the Polish positions. These held back the Germans through the afternoon, and under the cover of darkness the Poles pulled back to their division's main line of resistance about five kilometers to the east. The Poles had held their ground in their regiment's first clash with the enemy, even as the Polish high command ordered them to abandon the fight and withdraw into Switzerland. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Use French trucks for the additional German trucks required, or borrow German trucks from another game. Use French 25mmAT guns to represent the Polish 25mm AT guns. There is a DIY countersheet for a Polish version of the French substitute counters. Counters from White Eagles may be used instead of those from The Deluge. |
