Not-so-Quick Game: FJs vs. Polish Home Army

Had a game against Alan and his Polish Home Army force at Great Escape Games a few days back.  We played Late War at 1765 points, the mission was Encounter.


Alan's Polish Home Army was quite large and I would be on the defensive early.

Alan pushed just about everything forward, concentrating on my troops that had just advanced into the buildings.
Another group of his infantry would come right up the lightly-defended middle.
My Panzerwerfers and mortars would stop them for a few turns, while thinning out their numbers.  
HMGs and captured armored cars would put pressure on the center building, but panzershrecks would chase off the cars.
More stolen German equipment would arrive from reserve, including Panthers.  The Poles hold the church.
Yet more Polish troops arrive from reserve and chase my Panzerwerfers out of the woods.  The then clear my HQ out of the smaller treeline, but are hemmed in by StuGs.
Marder IIs arrive from reserve along with some FJs, and begin to put fire into the church.
Both of our forces were mostly exhausted after about 12 turns, so we called it.  
Whenever two large infantry forces battle it gets ugly, especially when they're both Fearless.  We played for about 3.5 hours to a 3-1 draw.
