Forced to withdraw by the German juggernaut, at Bzura the Polish army turned and pushed back. Armoured train No. 11 "Danuta" was part of this counterattack.*
*
On September 16, Danuta found herself facing elements of the German 31st Infantry Regiment. Her observer called down effective indirect fire on the  German advance - halting the attack for several hours until German anti-tank guns were brought to bear. Her locomotive destroyed, one turret crippled and her magazines shot dry, Cpt. Korobowicz ordered Danuta destroyed and her crew to withdraw. Despite a tragic end to such a graceful train, the Germans advanced no further that day.*
*
As the Polish Commander, your objective is to hold the line against the coming German attack*
*
Notes:*
Artillery car ammo load outs are best guesses based on what prototype information I could find. Each car historically had 240 rounds of main gun ammo - be sure to use it!*
*
The train icons look best when oriented east west. The nature of their placement in this scenario means there are a few glitches in the secondary turrets of the artillery cars. I'm working on a fix.*
*
I have a lot to learn about scenario design so any tweaking or suggestions are more than welcome.*
