34. The original scenario author is Bryan Beecher. Clarifications
and modification have been made to the original scenario by Bill Thomson for
Squad Leader Academy tournament play.
Warsaw, August 1,
1944: The uprising of freedom fighters of the Polish
Home Army in Warsaw, which began on this date, appeared at first to be headed
for ultimate, if hard-won, success. Home Army untis in Warsaw amounted to 34,
999 men and 4, 000 women, and force in the surrounding area added another 11,000.
However, an almost equivalent German Garrison of around 40,000 men was better
equipped, with ready-made defenses and greater recourse to reinforcements from
outside the combat area.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Polish force must capture all German-held
buildings by the end of the sixth game-turn to win. The German player wins by
preventing a Polish victory.
