River Of Heroes Pulawy Scenario

Pulawy By Ken Camel The third and final bridgehead secured by the Soviets over the Vistula River at the end of Operation Bagration was at Pulawy, nearly 100 kilometres south of Warsaw. Here the Soviets found the weakened remains of the 26th Infantry Division supported by the 19. Panzerdivision. Using their assault engineers to force the river, the Soviets gained another toehold from which to launch their final assault across Poland in January 1945.

A more forceful armoured response could have stopped the Soviets river assault. Can you find the mettle needed to hold the assault engineers until ample reserves arrive and keep Ivan east of the Vistula? Your infantry is weak but your armour can do the job if you can hold the eastern shore. Download Pulawy Scenario PDF...
