Poland 1939

POLAND CAMPAIGN

BACKGROUND
A week after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was made, German forces invaded Poland on September 1st 1939. Promised Allied support never materialized, and on September 17th the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east. By October 6th 1939 all of Poland was occupied.

CHOOSING SIDES & BUILDING ARMIES
Roll 2D6; the higher number is the Attack (GE or SV) and the lower is Poland. For a three player game the higher number is Germany, the lowest is Russia, and the middle is Poland.
In a two player game the attack doesn’t have to declare what nation s/he is playing until deployment.
Armies are built by purchasing units in Platoons; see below.
For a two player game Army Sizes are 150 (GE/SV) and 100 (PO)
For a three player game Army sizes are 200 points each.

GAME MAP & DEPLOYMENT
The defender creates the map using standard maps (Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog). There must be at least 5 town hexes on one map.
Polish forces deploy first.
German forces may deploy their units anywhere from the row of Bluff hexes, back.
Obstacles may be deployed anywhere except on Beach-Sand hexes.
For a 2 player game use a 2x2 map and standard assault rules.
For three player use a 3x2 map. German forces deploy in the top left corner, Russians in the top right, and Polish in the bottom/middle.

OBJECTIVES
At the end of turn 7 players score 1 victory point for each town hex they control (ie no enemy contests it).
Any contested or uncontrolled town hexes score 1 VP for the Polish player.
The player with the most VPs wins. If Poland is tied for the most, they win.

SCENARIO RULES
Each side is allowed one Hero using These Rules.
Polish forces may use a British Hero.
