From the magazine:

"To better learn the problems faced by both armies in Poland, 1939, this issue's game is a Polish variant for Avalon Hill's Panzerblitz®. You must own the game to use this variant. Inserted into the magazine are a number of items to to facilitate this expansion.

Six scenario cards with 10 scenarios are included which have both hypothetical and actual battles from this campaign. They include German attacks with Polish defenders, Polish Cavalry raids, Assault on an armored train, an ambush scenario (to get some of those non-combat units involved - shades of Rat Patrol!), as well as the battle that spawned the myth of Polish Lancers charging German tanks. Besides the maps in the original game, a new mounted map is included. The new map already has a railroad for armored train scenarios. Also included is a sheet of clear plastic railroad overlays for the original Panzerblitz maps. They are specially designed to fit the original boards and hex patterns, going through the middle of the hexes.

In addition, 3 sets of new counters are included. First, there is a set of 144 orange Polish units representing almost every type of organized unit in the campaign. Besides the 15 different types of towed guns (AT, AA, HMG, IG, HOW, & M), there are many types of infantry units (rifle, engineer, cavalry, bicycle, motorcycle), 3 types of armored cars, many types of tanks (some with different weapons), the armored train cars, and many miscellaneous units. You will find the Polish TK and TKS tankettes, the taczankas, and many other special Polish units. Many different types of armored train cars are included to allow both historical and hypothetical armored trains. Of course, the selfpropelled Drezyna-Tatras are included.

So that the Polish army won't have to fight Panthers and Tigers, 72 grey German early war units are also included. Besides early war infantry, the 37 mm AT gun, and the GW-1 assault gun, 7 early war types of armored cars are included, as well as 7 early war types of tanks. Finally a set of 24 neutral wagons are included.

Bound in the magazine are explanations of the units, an overview of the variant, and a set of optional rules needed for the variant."
