Baptism of the Black Brigade*
*
__Poland vs Germany*
___September 1939*
_____4 Battles*
*
Design: Brian Price*
*
In this campaign you assume command*
of a reinforced squadron (company) of*
the 24th Uhlan Regiment of the 10th*
Motorized (Calvary) Brigade, soon to*
be called, the Black Brigade.*
*
__Background*
On 1 September 1939, the XXII Panzer*
Corps, part of the 14th Army, crossed*
the Polish border from Slovakia.  In*
an attempt to outflank the positions*
of the Polish Krakow Army, the Germans*
crossed the Tatra passes and assaulted*
the towns of Chabowka and Nowy Targ.*
Their orders were to seize the town of*
Myslenice not later than 3 September*
thus encircling the Krakow Army.*
*
To counter the threat, the Krakow Army* commander, General Szylling, ordered*
the 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade to*
move into the area and block the*
German advance, securing the southern*
flank of the Krakow Army.*
*
__Campaign Notes*
Due to the pace of the campaign, your*
rebuild points are very limited.  It*
is likely that you may not be able to*
repair all of your units.  The ending* campaign score includes a build point*
divisor of 100, a decisive victory in*
the campaign is only possible if you*
have both enough victories and enough*
build points left over at the end.*
*
This is a fixed core campaign, it is*
highly recommended that you follow any*
support point recommendations given in*
the individual scenario introductions.*
*
Have fun!*
