The basic premise is that the Poles launch a surprise attack against the sleeping Germans, who then battle their way back after being awakened. The sides are roughly equal with a numeric edge going to the Germans. That is offset by the Poles initiating the attack when and where they wish. Being at night, it is basically a big bar-fight.

The Poles attacked with their advantage and caused lots of casualties. I struggled to recover, which I think is the expectation for the Germans. The battle breaks into lots of little assaults and counter assaults. I was slowing gain advantage in some of those fights, again what would be expected. Not great, but okay with me. Eventually the conclusion became that Germans had no realistic change of making up the 12 step deficit, so that's when I resigned. Polish major victory.

I gave the scenario a 2 because there is a basic flaw in The Deluge, which did not exist when White Eagles came out. That is, in White Eagles, German tanks are efficient. In Deluge they are not, thus no +1 column shift in AFV-Infantry assaults. As most German tanks are Pz I and Pz II models, they contribute as much strength infantry would, but their losses count double. The problem is equally evident in the tank battles.
