Introduction

Shortly before the German assault on Poland began, a small special operation tried to seize the bridge over the Vistula at Tczew. Polish railway workers alerted the garrison, who drove off the attackers and blew up the bridge. Later that day the Germans returned to make a conventional assault against the town and the crossing site with combat engineers and Waffen SS militia.
Conclusion

The Polish riflemen fought off the German river crossing, and devastated the SS militia trying to attack from the west bank of the Vistula. The SS continued their weak attacks throughout the day but the Poles could not be dislodged from Tczew. During the night the rifle battalion slipped away as part of the general withdrawal of Army Pomorze.
Display Relevant AFV Rules
AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle
  • Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
  • AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement.
  • AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
  • Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2).
  • Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
  • Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
  • Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
  • Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
  • AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
  • AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
  • Armored Trains: see Rule 15.2 ~ 15.22

Scenario DelP014

Elements of a Polish Rifle Battalion were charged with defending a burned out bridge and a small town from a German advance from both the east and north. The German attacking force from the east was made up of a battalion of engineers who quickly got across the river in force with support from their 81mm mortars, OBA and a train, they cleared the approach’s to the town only to come under heavy fire from the Polish HMGs and a battery of French 75’s.

To the North the SS had luck on their side as they advanced on the Polish left flank, a Polish 40mm AAA opened fire which demoralized all but a couple of platoons but it was knocked out by the timely arrival of a flight of Ju88s which glide bombed it into submission. Two platoons of SS supported by a MG platoon moved thru the woods to flank the town which helped the engineers clear all but one town hex for a German Major victory.
