Lithuania's Iron Wolves Base Game
Introduction

The Lithuanians hoped to time their attack to commence after the elite Polish 1st “Legion” Infantry Division had left its home station in Vilnius. The chaos engendered by the German invasion meant that one regiment had not yet departed when the Lithuanians crossed the border onto Polish soil. The Legion would resist them.
Conclusion

The 1st Infantry Division was considered the toughest unit in the Polish Army, and it put up fierce resistance to the Lithuanian advance. The tiny Lithuanian tanks made little impression on the Poles, and at the cost of some losses the Poles held their lines against superior enemy numbers.
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).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
  • Tank: all are closed-top and provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

Scenario LIWo009

Polish forces are tasked with defending the two East-West Roads, along with the usual difference in step losses rounded out the three victory conditions for this scenario. A combined arms force of Lithuanian armor and infantry advanced along the western road and overran the Polish forces defending this road, it took time as the Wolves struggled to clear, but once thru this blocking for the Wolves got into the Polish rear and attacked the eastern road from both directions. Luftwaffe air support was nonexistent in this fight which did not matter in the end.
