Poland, 1939 is a two-player board wargame published by Panzerfaust Publications in 1971 that simulates the German invasion of Poland in 1939. One player commands the Polish defenders and the other the German invaders on a map of western Poland, East Prussia and the German borderlands. The original edition used eight letter-sized sheets joined together, and the later JagdPanther edition came with two maps. Play alternates between sides, with some German armoured units allowed to move, fire and move again to exploit holes in the Polish line, and units in Warsaw doubling their defence. The historical scenario lasts 12 turns, extendable to 18 with a third player controlling the Soviet invasion, and thirteen non-historical scenarios give the Poles some chance. Designed by Ted Buynisky, it first appeared as a free pull-out in Panzerfaust issue 49 in October 1971, and Stephen V. Cole revised it for boxed editions from 1973.
