Wargames of 1939
The game features initially 7 scenarios, set in the early days of the second world war, when the Nazi Germany launched a full-scale attack against Poland. The Polish army, fighting without allies upheld against the invasion for 2 months but was eventually defeated by the third reich. In this game, the scenarios depict various key battles of the war, ranging from the initial border warfare to the siege of Warsaw.
Fans of hardcore hex strategy games might enjoy the fact that the game has actual World War II era German and Polish combat vehicles and armament, supply line mechanics, artillery counter attacks, maps based on the actual historical battles, and so forth. (Some liberties have been taken in interpreting few of the details, to make the game more entertaining. But we've tried to be as close to the course of events as possible.)
You can play either solo against the AI, or play multiplayer by passing the device between players after each turn. Network multiplayer is not currently supported. The single player game is played from the axis perspective; multiplayer has one player playing the German side and the other Polish side.
In case you'd like to play a quite similar type of a game set in ancient times, you might want to try out our Populus Romanus series also. It has a somewhat similar kind of tactics but in a Roman setting instead of modern times.

my first down load..I like it .. would like more scenarios... Figured out how to beat The German troops even in hard play
Really enjoyable but wish there were some more campaigns
Love the game so much, but only has the Poland campaign, any chance of extending it throughout ww2?
Have enjoyed playing this game for years (at least 3 phones & a tablet).
great fun. hoping for additional campaigns
Finally found a game like the Avalon Hill games that I grew up playing.
game is fun to play and yet its diffulcult
I love boardgames but never really got into hex wargames - until now. As a newbie, playing on Normal is a challenge and I love the different tactics and strategies that need to come into play - my favourite scenario so far is Lodz. Took me ages to do but was well worth the hard work! Simple UI & graphics with straight-forward rule-set. 5 stars well earned.
I've missed turn based hex games! Even more scenarios for this WWII strategy game will be enjoyed.
Fitting successor to Panzer General. As a player of the old DOS game Panzer General, I can say that this game is he closest I've come across. I only wish there were more past Poland campaines. While I love the fact you have broken Poland down into more than Panzer General's two campaines, to have France, the Low Countries, Russia, North Africa, etc., would be grand.
A bit of an eyesore trying to differentiate the units which are all just grey. Otherwise a great game. I find Populus Romania slightly more enjoyable.
Bought this game after playing the free demo version. It's worth buying. Single player version is very tactical and chalenging. Multiplayer version is pass and play only. My wish is for an online, Bluetooth or Lan multiplayer version. I would give it 5 stars then. It should be advertised as pass and play, not multiplayer.
Please make an impossible mode the missions are too easy. Reinforcing seems to powerful. 11 pts to reinforce an elite tank or 60 pts to buy a new one. AI doesn't reinforce as much as it should.
Plays like paper and chits. Nice interface w/ decent AI. Please update and tweak Polish side. Haven't checked this update yet. Hoping you have.
So happy to find a game for mobiles that's like panzer corps/panzer general..this games no where as good as those computer versions but for the mobile phone its mighty fine..
Great game. Could do with a harder level.
Like a simplified version of panzer general
Enjoyed but then its over
Heat Old school game. Unfortunately only 10 maps
Can Poland reinforce in Tomosaw Lubelski?
The best strategy games I have played on android. I am a big fan of games like total war, rise of nations and AoE, as well as hex games like people's general. Top class! Please keep making them! Polish campaign is great for variety, if a little easy. Would love to try a British campaign for populus romanus 2.
This is a change of rating. Well balanced and challenging play. However it is not historical. Polish artillery are uber fast moving long range and the primary winning troop. If this were a fictitious red vs blue, I'd rate it 5 *. Poles vs German gets 3*
Probably the best long term purchase war strategy game I've ever bought Repays replaying it time after time with different tactics and strategies. Deeply regret the developer lost interest/moved onto other things and his D_Day campaign has never been released. One of the best blends of relatively simple commands and complexity of tactics I've come across. I still come back to it years after first playing it.
