About the game
Poland '39-The Black Brigade On September 1, 1939 the German army invaded Poland and started the greatest war the earth had ever seen. Contrary to popular myth, the Polish army fought with determination and skill. Poland managed to hold out nearly as long against Germany as France and Britain did a year later. This book traces the saga of the brave Polish 10th Mechanized Division, the "Black Brigade" from the opening days of invasion to the fall of Poland. Elements of the intrepid Black Brigade eventually withdrew from Poland and formed the nucleous of the Polish 1st Armored Division that would in 1944 close the Falaise Gap and play a key role in the capture of thousands of German troops. Maximum Replayability: the SkirmishCampaigns system features a realistic (and historic) variable order of battle for each scenario, guaranteeing countless unique scenario and campaign replays. Generic Order of Battle: this book also includes a unique generic order of battle listing that can be translated to almost any skirmish rule system. Historical Research: this book includes several introduction sections that contain background information on the Polish Campaign of 1939. Includes: 10 Scenarios, 4 Campaigns. —description from the publisher
