Play Recommendations

This scenario deals with the opening stages of this action i.e. the German attack to take Glowaczow and Lezenice. There is a further part to this action, called Stuetzpunkt Glowaczow which covers the Soviet attack to retake the village.

If playing the AI it is suggested you stick to the scenario default - play works well as either Axis or Allied player (the AI might put up a better fight if you give a +2 Combat Experience Bonus). If playing two player the more experienced player should take the Soviets.
