SGS Fall Weiss

SGS Fall Weiss is a turn-based strategy game that immerses players in the early stages of the Second World War, covering the German invasion of Poland from September to October 1939. Officially commencing on September 1, the campaign was marked by the swift and brutal tactics described by Western journalists as "blitzkrieg," although the Germans did not use this term themselves. Instead, the game's mechanics emphasize the strategic exploitation of advanced technology, including motorization and air support.

Players can control various units, including infantry, artillery, and armored divisions, while managing air forces and specific resources like armored trains. The game consists of 19 turns, each representing two days of real time. Players must adapt their strategies depending on terrain and evolving battlefield conditions, with objectives centered on capturing key cities like Warsaw and Lvov.

The game features two main variants: a historical campaign and an alternative campaign allowing players to enact "what-if" scenarios. Event cards provide layered complexity and replayability, simulating diplomatic, military, and economic events. As the conflict unfolds, players must carefully balance offensive strategies against defensive necessities, making SGS Fall Weiss not just a game, but an interactive exploration of a pivotal moment in history.
