SGS Fall Weiss

When defending, you shall use also your forces and cards, but also take into account the assistance provided by good defensive terrains. Everyone knows that World Ward II started in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Germany, and discovered the concept of Blitzkrieg. The defender shall resist as long as possible, gaining time for bad fall weather t settle in or the Allies to put more pressure on other fronts.Fall WeissSGS Fall Weiss (Case White in German, the code name of the operation) covers the Polish campaign, between September and October 1939. The ‘Axis’ player controls the German and Slovak units, while the other commands the Polish armies and air forces. It is a prequel to our previous titles Winter War and Afrika Korps, with a shorter period and turn duration (one turn representing one day).As the Axis Commander-in-Chief, you must seize Poland as quickly as possible, avoiding an early Allied offensive in the west. The Blitzkrieg doctrine will find its culmination here by finding itself opposed by armies simply endowed with infantry and cavalry. Despite their indisputable qualities, the Poles cannot survive this hurricane of fire and steel in the long term. An uchronic campaign involves Russian forces on the Polish side in the context of a defense agreement between Stalin and Poland in the face of German aggression.Finally, a last a-historic campaign simulates the fact that Hitler did not attack Poland when the Soviet Union invaded Lithuania in 1939. The contribution of Slovak troops remains minimal but forces the enemy to disperse divisions that could be useful elsewhere.The Polish troops must in the historic campaign try to hold out as long as possible, even if defeat quickly seems inevitable. The latter then called on Poland to intervene against the Soviets while Germany remains neutral.Scenarios last from 4 turns (for the small ones) to more than 30 turns, each representing a period of one day between September 1 and September 30, 1939. This operational strategy game purpose is to let players discover how this new type of warfare worked. The Axis has strong troops with armor and significant air superiority at the start of the game, and its strategic position is better from the start. Large panzer units will make a difference on the battlefield, especially if paired with the Luftwaffe’s (classic or dive) bomber squadrons. Goals are simple: the invader must conquer key objectives in a lightning war (on the Axis side) that will leave no time to the Western powers to react. Both sides are playable, and you have at your disposal different units, from mobile infantry, tanks and planes to static defenses like bunkers, trenches and mines. The Soviet Union may intervene for the benefit of one side or the other depending on the scenarios. To ensure a swift success, the attackers need to careful ly balance use of air support, armored units, artillery and the regular infantry, combined with a clever usage of cards (which you receive every turn to assist your strategy). As the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish forces, you must resist to the best of your ability, pushing your Western allies to invade the Reich to relieve German pressure.Fall Weiss (Case White, the German code name of the operation) contains many scenarios, including some covering different hypothetical possibilities related to European diplomatic vagaries.The small scenarios relate to the first days of the German invasion (September 1-4, 1939) in the Carpathians or the Polish counter-offensive of Bzura by the army of Poznan (September 9-12, 1939). The long campaigns retrace the historic attack on Poland by the Hitlerite armies or that of the USSR between September 1 and September 30, 1939.Another campaign only sets the Germans against the Poles as the signing of the German-Soviet pact has not occurred. It remains, however, possible to politically push the Western allies (France and the United Kingdom) to exert major pressure on German
