RE: Today, 100 years ago: Battle of Warsaw - Miracle on the Vistula - PzKw43 - 08-16-2020 Thank you for the links. RE: Today, 100 years ago: Battle of Warsaw - Miracle on the Vistula - Big Ivan - 08-16-2020 Thanks Crossroads for supplying a little history around this critical engagement.  Mike's scenario is a gem. Played it a couple of times as both sides and had a lot of fun with it. An interesting aspect of game play is when I played it we agreed by special rule not to use indirect fire for the cannons. They were direct fire only! The reason for this is during the time of the battle, the systems were not in place for field radios, radio contact and fire control direction. It made for a vastly different game than what is the norm for the Campaign Series. Good stuff all around!
