## What is Wargame Poland 1939?

Case White, the invasion of Poland 1939.
This is a classic hex and counter wargame.
This game simulates the 1939 Axis invasion of Poland by Germany and their Slovakian allies. The game focuses on the Axis invasion, and does not cover the Soviet invasion.
You can play against another player "hotseat" or else play either side against your device.
Gameplay involves moving your units on a map of Poland. The map is organised into hexes to regulate movement. If you tap on a unit, hexes it can move to are highlighted in yellow. Tap on a highlighted hex to move there. If there is an enemy unit present, combat will occur.
The units represent the military formations actually present in 1939. Mostly these are divisions, but some are brigades or army headquarters. You can place (stack) up to five units in a single hex. Tapping on the hex will rotate the units, with the selected one at the top.

### 4/5 — Great but.....

*2020-01-28, version 119*

Great game but I agree with others that the game could use more work. Will continue to play though I am hoping the developer will update. Can’t wait for more games by this developer.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2019-04-13, version 119*

I had hopes for this game and it let me down.  I realize it’s free, but, the developer could have made it a little more realistic.  No air power, the Polish Army is almost as strong as the Germans.  I played it 10 times and could never get better than a poor victory for the Germans.  The Poles were no where near as strong as the Germans but it isn’t like that in the game.  Also they need to put AirPower in the game as that is where the Germans really shined.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2018-12-28, version 119*

It’s pretty fun but it’s kind of hard to get the map to load

### 5/5 — Korsun no longer Poland

*2018-03-17, version 118*

Liked the original Poland game and even the France one.  Hadn’t played in awhile and launched Poland and all of a sudden the game is Korsun.  Even uninstall and reload has not fixed. 

Would give the original Poland game 5 Stars and would be happy to pay for these games since they are excellent.

### 4/5 — Ok

*2017-11-30, version 118*

Game that downloaded was Korsun not Poland 39.  
The game feels unfinished and the map leaves a lot to be desired; keeping to the original board game map isn’t really nostalgia unless the game was a true classic, like Avalon Hill’s Blitzkrieg or something.  Otherwise the map is lackluster at best.  Counter values are very small, even zoomed in.  SS units probably should be another color to denote them or labeled as such.  A lack of multi-hex coordinated attack capability means I feel no unit cohesion or get any benefit from coordinated assaults; this runs counter to military doctrine in any army. 
Basically if you’re just going to scan into iOS the board game, I recommend passing on this series.  
Developer, you’re making the money, now put forth some effort and provide a better quality product - you’re not stuck in the 1970s with hand stenciled maps and hand cut unit counters.  Good graphics these days are easy peasy to make.

### 1/5 — Wrong game...

*2017-11-24, version 118*

Downloaded poland and it is instead Korsun!

So, worst game on Poland I have neverplayed?

### 4/5 — Download issue

*2017-10-13, version 118*

Downloaded the Poland app and it boots up as Korsun.  These are great games that play well.

### 3/5 — IOS 11 update is for other title

*2017-09-26, version 118*

Updated the game to iOS 11, but launches as Korsun 1944, not Poland 1939 (as of 9/26/17).

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2016-01-08, version 117*

An excellent game for one of the most underrated parts of WWII. Great accuracy and unit design. Definitely worth your time.

### 5/5 — A true hex and counter wargame on IOS, however...

*2015-06-18, version 117*

I love war games, namely those that have historical accuracy. This is a great game, but the AI may be a bit easy to beat after a couple of games. I recommend playing with another person over solitaire play.
