Germany, having sealed a pact with Soviet Russia, made the final preparations for Case White; Adolf Hitler launched the first blitzkrieg on Poland, September 1, 1939. In doing so, Hitler had run his last bluff and what was to be a short lived assault against Poland was instead to become Total War. The game uses brigade and division sized units. This is the fifth game in Excalibre's Panzer Battles and Sieges series.
