First to Fight (1991)

First to Fight is a simulation game on the German blitzkrieg invasion of Poland in September 1939, the event that ignited World War II in Europe.

First to Fight is a two player game, with one player representing the German high command and the other the Polish high command. The German player must crush Poland in a lighning campaign. Speed is essential - the outcome must be settled quickly in order to shift troops west in time to forestall or defeat a French offensive on Germany's western border. The Polish player must successfully defend Poland or, failing in this, at least hold out long enough to disrupt the German timetable for conquest. Both sides maneuver their forces and conduct combat in an attempt to achieve these goals.

This is the second installment in GRD's Collectors Series™ of The Europa Series games. There were two editions of this game printed in 1991 and 1999.

First to Fight is a revision of Case White.
