Case Green, the Czech Campaign of 1938
Though
WWII in Europe started when Germany invaded
Poland in September of 1939, it could just as
easily have started a year earlier on September
28, 1938 when Germany marched into western
Czechoslovakia. The very capable Czech army was
ready to resist but a political deal caused the
Czech Government to order their army to lay down
its arms and give up half the country, including
nearly all the fortified areas. Six months
later on March 15, the Germans occupied the
rest. However, some interesting battles could
have ensued if there had been a fight. I offer
the following three countersheets for use (all
in zipped PDF format). These include all (we
think) PB/PL counters needed to represent the
Czech Army in 1938 and the Slavik Army from
1939-1945, which fought for the Germans in
Poland and Russia. Also included are early war
German units for use in Czechoslovakia and
Poland (and a few should be used against
France). This effort is a joint venture between
Byron Henderson and myself, Greg Moore. Though
I created the countersheets, Byron's invaluable
input, critique, and gentle nudging have been
instrumental in seeing this project through.
Also I have benefitted greatly from Ward
McBurney as my work is but an imitation of his
own. His very excellent work can be seen at the
Imaginative Strategist.
