[Lwow area, Ukraine] : [H2H] [HISB] [BB]: During the Polish-Soviet
War of 1920 the city of Lwów (modern Lviv, Ukraine) was attacked
by the forces of Alexander Ilyich Yegorov. Since mid-June 1920
the 1st Cavalry Army of Semyon Budyonny was trying to reach the
city from the north and east. At the same time Lwów was preparing
the defense. The inhabitants raised and fully equipped three
regiments of infantry and two regiments of cavalry as well as
constructed defensive lines. The city was defended by an equivalent
of three Polish divisions aided by one Ukrainian infantry division.
Finally after almost a month of heavy fighting on August 16 the
Red Army crossed the Southern Bug River and, reinforced by additional
8 divisions of the so called Red Cossacks, started an assault
on the city. The fighting occurred with heavy casualties on both
sides, but after three days the assault was halted and the Red
Army retreated. With the crushing defeat of main forces of the
Red Army in the battle of Warsaw, and the Polish victories at
Komarów at Zadwórze, Russian forces were forced to retreat from
Lwów. For the heroic defense with large units of locally raised
volunteers the city was awarded with the Virtuti Militari medal
on 11 November 1920. This action is just a part of this battle,
a few days earlier, when the volunteers, stationed at outlying
villages, try to repel advance columns of the 1st Konarmiya Army,
buying Lwow some time.[No EA, VV]
Due to battery control restraints of the period, I recommend a gentlemans agreement to not use any indirect fire, but to use the artillery units as direct fire support.
EDIT: This scenario no longer requires exclusive use of the Forgotten Battles Mod to play!
