Dernaki Attack*
*
Date: September 26, 1939*
*
Battle Location: Dernaki, Poland*
*
Battle Type: Poland delay vs USSR advance*
*
Description: As elements of the forces commanded by the Polish general Anders battle their way across eastern Poland in an attempt to escape the Germans and reach Hungary, they find their way blocked by Soviet troops.*
*
Anders sends a messenger to the Soviets, asking for free passage. The Soviets reply is to open fire with artillery and send in a tank supported attack against his already battered force.*
*
Notes: Some of your forces have been able to chase off the Russians from the village of Derniki and the 9th Battery of the Horse Artillery have set up their guns while reinforcements, including the last light tanks and armoured cars of the Novagrodek Cavalry Brigade are hurrying to the scene. Can you hold off the Soviet tanks?*
