About the game
Polish Legions is a PanzerBlitz variant with 10 scenarios from the 1939 German invasion. It includes 240 mounted, pre-cut counters, a small, mounted map, and plastic overlays portraying railroad lines. A copy of PanzerBlitz is required in order to play. Six of the scenarios are based on historical actions, all of them Polish successes(!), including a couple of cavalry victories (but no charges into the barrels of tanks). Two of the four hypothetical scenarios are designed to show the superiority of combined arms tactics over uncoordinated assaults. One interestingly pits panzers against an armored train. The last features a German spearhead operating deep in Polish territory. The game was published in Issue #1 of VAIPA Quarterly, an undated periodical apparently sold only through eBay. The issue includes other articles about Poland in World War II.

Questions and answers

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Polish Legions for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Polish Legions belongs to these categories: Wargame and World War II. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Hexagon Grid.

The catalogue lists Polish Legions as an expansion for PanzerBlitz.
