| In game terms, Poland is partitioned and the Danzig corridor no longer becomes the cause of the war. Instead, the war starts in April of 1940 with a German invasion of Denmark and Norway on the pretense of reuniting Schleswig which was lost at Versaille. | In game terms, Poland is partitioned and the Danzig corridor no longer becomes the cause of the war. Instead, the war starts in April of 1940 with a German invasion of Denmark and Norway on the pretense of reuniting Schleswig which was lost at Versaille. To compensate for German and West gearing, own people production efficiency is increased to 75% if the war starts later. |

| This assumes that the allies did not back down to German pressure on the Sudentenland and no Munich appeasement occured. The war now starts in 1938 with a German offensive vs Czechoslovakia. Poland sits out the conflict and is neutral. Poland can later be attacked by either Germany or the Soviet Union. Both can also pledge support to Poland. If Germany attacks and Poland is not supported by Russia, the battle is the same as the normal game. If Germany attacks and Poland is supported by the Soviets, then Poland joins the Soviet Union and Germany is immediately at war with both. If the Soviets attack and Poland is not supported by Germany, then Poland is partitioned. If the Soviets attack and Poland is supported by Germany, then Poland immediately joins Germany and now the Soviet Union is at war with both. //An attack on Poland by the Soviets is a way for the Soviets to get around the issue of initiative, but Soviets give the Germans' a sizeable if somewhat ineffective army to the East.// | This assumes that the allies did not back down to German pressure on the Sudentenland and no Munich appeasement occured.
