The two German infantry armies in East Prussia swing around the open east flank, and supported by both air units, attack and destroy Polish army "G" and take Warsaw. The two German infantry armies south of Poland combine with the panzer army to attack the Polish "F" army, and retreat it into the hex with the "E" army. The panzer army then advances into Warsaw, joining an infantry army against the expected Polish attempt to retake their capital.

In events elsewhere, the sitzkrieg begins on the western front as the two German infantry armies on the French border sit tight. The German fleet, and U-boat unit remain in port. Italy is not yet in the war.

Polish armies "E" and "F" make a futile effort to retake their capital against superior German forces and fail, losing one army in battle while the other surrenders as Poland falls.

In events elsewhere, the sitzkrieg continues on the western front as the French do nothing but send their fleet to North Africa to bring their army there back to France. The Soviets annex eastern Poland and the Baltic states, and begin the "winter war" against Finland. Two Soviet armies attack the Finnish army but without success.
