  • Out of two community scenarios on the subject of Fall Weiss I found this one more enjoyable :)

  • This was a frustrating scenario, not because it was especially hard to play, but because the units chosen to represent it were so inappropriate for this time period. It might have been better to wait until the company provides more accurate modeling for historical units.

    But in the meantime, I would agree with what sourdust says about Polish airstrikes. In the game it is far too powerful and the Luftwaffe peters out a little too abruptly. I realize that in the later stages of the campaign that the Germans began shifting air units back to the west in anticipation of combat on Germany's western borders (even though that really didn't get underway so soon).

    The other thing is the Poles have far too much armor in the game. They only had very little and as best I am aware it was concentrated in two not very strong units. There should not be armor support in every other infantry unit.

    Lastly, the Germans need more small units guarding their supply lines. If the player attempts the kind of bold penetrations that were historically the case, he is apt to get cut off and out of supply with fatal consequences or at least delays.

    All in all, not a bad effort and a scenario I have played several times. But it could be better if you choose to work on it some.

  • An unexpectedly interesting battle. The first turn, everything feels like a pushover, but Polish resistance stiffens and you find yourself having to press hard to reach the objectives on time.

    I'd make the timeframes a bit tougher - perhaps Lvov and Lublin on turn 6 rather than 7, for the brilliant victory.

    The Polish 2 airstrikes per turn seems a bit over the top - perhaps only 1/turn, and only 3 in total. After all, the Polish airforce was shattered pretty quickly by the Luftwaffe. Also, maybe add in Polish unit designations for all units?

    Thanks for the scenario!
