Resulting battle may vary greatly each try. War has many faces, nothing is guaranteed. You're only one of many cogs in the war machine controlled by HETMAN, so do not expect any special treatment. Those battles aren't player-centric in any way. One time you may found yourself in the middle of fierce firefight immediatelly, another time you may be kept as reserve long time before you see any action. You may die in the first few minutes or survive to the end without a single shot fired, but with few clicks in the legs. Both extremes are not very probable, but possible and perfectly OK - just do your part or act on your own. Create own war stories."

Baranow (8x8km)

"Baranów (or sometimes "Baranów Sandomierski") is a small town in southern Poland, close to the Vistula river. In the evening of 29 July 1944 elements of the 350th Rifle Division under Major General Grigori Vekhin reached the Vistula River and crossed it near Baranów. The following day a large part of the 13th Army followed into the gap, along with 1st Guards Tank Army. By the end of the day the bridgehead was expanded to a strip of land 12 by 8 kilometres. [...] On the first day of August, 1944, the Wehrmacht started a massive counter-attack by doing a pincer movement, from Mielec and Tarnobrzeg. After several days of heavy fighting, the Soviet Corps pushed the German forces back and threw them out by 6 August. The Germans started yet another counter-attack, however the offensive came to a standstill after three days, and on 14 August the Soviets started a push [...] towards the north. The Soviet attack reached Sandomierz, but was stopped soon afterwards. By the end of the month both sides dug, unable to mount further offensive movements, and went on defence. The front stabilised until 7 January 1945, when the Vistula–Oder Offensive started. (Wikipedia)"

Note: Expect dull moments in this particular terrain. That's because of the big river that divides it, ArmA AI is very bad at crossing rivers. My advise, generally, try not to play when the presented battle have both armies on each side of river.
