Scenario Description
For two days the Poles desperately tried to hold a line in the vicinity of the Warta and Widawka Rivers but were gradually pushed back. However, the stubborn Resistance of the crack Polish I 0th Division was threatening to throw the German invaders severely off their time schedule and might enable the Poznan Army to escape almost certain encirclement. Determined to break through, the Germans brought up heavy reinforcements including the elite SS Liebstandarte Regiment and attacked once again.

Battle Narrative
The invasion of Poland marked the beginning of World War II. The German invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and one day after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union had approved the pact. The Soviets invaded Poland on 17 September. The campaign ended on 6 October with Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of Poland under the terms of the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty.
