Early WWII - Polish vs. Germans - Game 1 part 2

First a look at the opposing forces, I will detail this order of battle for both and any extra little rules that apply to the various units.  For these lists I have mad up fictional commanders and locations.

Germans:

Recon forces in the town of Poludnie Tercza.

This force represents the Recon Battalion that captured and now must hold the Town of Poludnie Tercza. All of the vehicles will not be allowed to move during the game and they have ran out of fuel. Once deployed that is where thy must stay for the rest of the game.

Front to back - Left to Right
Headquarters - Major Schorner (Command Value 9)
x7 Heer Rifle Platoons
x1 Machinegun Platoon
x1 Assault Pioneer Platoon
x1 Recce Platoon with Motorcycles.
x1 Sdkfz251
x2 Trucks
x1 Field car

German Forces being deployed via mobile deployment west of the town.

A: Commanding Officer: Panzer Battalion
Oberstleutnant Fressner (Command Value 9)

B: Kradschutzen Company + Support
Headquarters - Hauptmann Rendulic
Recce Sqaud with Motorcycles
X3 Kradschutzen Platoons
X1 75mm Field gun Platoon (and Horsh trucks)
X2 Heer Rifle Platoons (with trucks)

C: Panzer Company 1
Headquarters - Hauptmann Von Bock (Command Value 9)
X1 Sdkfz222 Recce armoured car
X2 Heer Motorised Rifle Platoons (Trucks)
X1 Panzer I
X1 Panzer III
X1 Panzer IV
X1 Mortar Platoon (Field car)

X1 Sdkfz 231 (6RAD) Armoured Car
X2 Heer Motorised Rifle Platoons (Trucks)
X1 Panzer IV
X2 Panzer III
X1 Machinegun Platoon (Field car)

E: Panzer Company 3 (reserve force)
Headquarters Hauptmann Prille (command value 8)
X1 Sdkfz 222 Armoured Car
X2 Heer Mortorised Rifle Platoons (Trucks)
X1 Panzer I
X2 Panzer II
X1 Machinegun Platoon (Field car)

Break point: 15

So that's the German Forces Available. Definitely the emphasis is on mobility, with high command values and small unit sizes this force should be mobile and pack enough of a punch to fight through most opposition. 

Next up. The Polish forces

See you next time.
