"And so, my friends, it's time for another, third game of "Battle on the Bzura" with Yura Boyarin, using the "Bolt Action" rules. As a reminder, this trilogy began several months ago (April 14th) and included three games. Game 1 – Germany on the defensive, Game 2 – a counter-attack, and Game 3 – the Germans on the offensive. I've written many times before that I much prefer games based on specific historical events. The game takes on a real meaning, and it's easier to write reports. There's always a plot and a wealth of historical material. Fortunately, I've rallied around people who share this point of view, making it always easy to implement such ideas. Thanks to them for that. Since this mini-campaign spanned a quarter of a year, I'll briefly recap the historical chronology. On September 1, 1939, World War II began with the first shots fired from the old battleship Schleswig-Holstein in Danzig Bay. The German army invaded Poland. According to the plan for Operation Weiss, German forces were to break through the Polish defenses with two converging attacks from the north and south and close the encirclement of a giant pocket east of Warsaw, dooming the enemy army to defeat. Polish military doctrine, however, called for uniform coverage of the entire state border. It is therefore no coincidence that deep German penetrations on the flanks left a significant Polish force in the center, right at the German border. In particular, Army Group Poznań (four infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade with artillery and tanks), under the command of Brigadier General Tadeusz Kutrzeba, was left out in the cold. In the chaos of war, it was simply forgotten by everyone (both our own and our enemies)…"
