Operation Case White, September 1, 1939

Summer Lightning is an operational simulation in which players command divisions, brigades, corps of armor, infantry, cavalry, mountain troops, and more. Designed by veteran designer Brian Train, Summer Lightning is the invasion of Poland by German, Slovakian and Soviet forces September - October 1939. The campaign was a brief, bloody, and confusing affair fought between two armies that were considered equals.

Despite the interesting campaign, there aren't many war games on the Polish campaign, probably because the conventional wisdom is that it was a very unbalanced contest. The German Army knew it had superior numbers and organization, but much of its equipment was no better than that fielded by the Polish troops. The concept of blitzkrieg had not been proven in actual combat, and they were not sure that the campaign would not bog down into static fighting. As it was, the German Army lost over 16,000 men in the five weeks of the campaign.
