Oltarzew, 11km W of Warsaw: [Best played against Human opponent] By the10th of September the lead elements of the "Panzerdivision Reinhardt", to which the motorized infantry of the "Leibstandarte" were subordinated, had reached the southwestern outskirts of Warsaw. The advance unit of this division, "Aufklärungsabteilung 7" (Recon Battalion 7), proceeded toward Oltarzew and Domaniew but quickly found itself in a defensive struggle against increasingly strong counterattacks from Polish units attempting to break through to Warsaw from the west. After repulsing a number of attacks and destroying several armored trains, the recon unit withdrew southward into Pruskow, leaving open the left flank and rear of its parent division, now facing Warsaw. As the SS troopers of the Leibstandarte arrived at nightfall, they and Aufklärungsabteilung 7 were ordered to capture Moszna, Domaniew and Ozaruw, thus securing the open flanks of Reinhardt's 4th Panzer Division.
