About the game
The September War is a collection of thirty-three scenarios for I Ain’t Been Shot, Mum covering the German invasion of Poland 1939. Divided into eight mini-campaigns, the pack begins with the battles at the border, then covers the fight for the Polish corridor, the Polish Thermopylae at Narew, the Siege of Warsaw, the climactic battles at Bzura and Tomaszow Lubelski, and the actions of the 10th Motorised Cavalry “Black” Brigade and the Independent Operational Group Polesie. There are attacks, counter-attacks, encounter battles, desperate defences…there’s even an armoured train or two. No need for any preparation, each scenario contains: a brief background history, maps, a full game briefing, and a full briefing for each player. Simply print out the pages you need from the PDF, make up the deck from the list of cards required, unpack your figures and dice, set up the table and away you go! —description from the publisher
