Yes, an aggressive opening, especially considering there were Chieftains dug in and waiting, rather than the infantry and light armour force we were expecting. The Polish T-55s could deal with Leo 1s, but Chieftains!<br /><br />Yes, the Poles had the full 7th Marine Assault Division (a reinforced brigade in reality), plus a battalion of the 6th Air Assault Division (a parachute battalion in effect), with a reserve of a Polish T-72 tank regiment. I guess the rest of the 6th Air Assault Div could also be called in unless needed elsewhere.<br /><br />The situation reminded me a little of the quote regarding Anzio (if I remember it right), about throwing a tiger onto the beachhead and it turning into a kitten. <br /><br />Cheers, AndyAndy Canhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100637417048895507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694384365798731751.post-30637912880336398202017-03-22T22:46:55.228+00:002017-03-22T22:46:55.228+00:00Wow, that's quite the opening round Andy!

Very aggressive by the Poles, and looks to be paying off (I'm assuming they will have at least follow-on amphib forces, maybe also airlift?).<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694384365798731751.post-52990855595249111322017-03-21T09:44:26.844+00:002017-03-21T09:44:26.844+00:00Thanks mate.
