Case White: The Invasion of Poland, 1939

About this board game

Case White: The Invasion of Poland, 1939 is a two-player board wargame that covers the German invasion of Poland in 1939, with an approximately 120-minute playing time.

Released in 1977, Case White is the fifth board wargame in GDW’s The Europa Series. The game focuses on a pivotal campaign at the beginning of the Second World War, presenting the invasion of Poland as its central subject.

The Europa Series was designed to simulate the war in Europe and North Africa through a shared rules approach. Case White therefore belongs to a broader collection intended to portray multiple parts of the conflict using similar systems.

One of the series’ defining ambitions was the possibility of linking its individual games together into one massive game. This places Case White within a larger framework rather than treating the 1939 invasion as an isolated design.

For two players, the game offers a focused entry in GDW’s expansive Europa project. Its defined setting, compact player count, and two-hour playing time make it a clearly bounded treatment of the campaign while retaining a connection to the series’ wider scope.

Whether you are exploring GDW’s classic wargame catalogue or looking for a game centered on the invasion of Poland, Case White provides a dedicated 1939 scenario within a series built to represent the war across Europe and North Africa.
