World in Flames 5E: May–June 1939 — Germany Invades Poland, France Strikes Back

In the May–June 1939 turn of World in Flames 5E, Germany ends its understanding with Poland and proposes a non-aggression pact with the USSR, but the political round ends before the Soviets can respond, wasting German spending. The Commonwealth holds an election and shifts Sweden away from Germany’s influence. Reinforcements arrive across all powers, then Axis wins initiative under mostly clear weather (mud in subtropical). Japan makes limited moves and an assault in China, while Italy shifts troops to North Africa. Germany declares war on Poland, triggering French involvement; France launches a surprise attack into Germany and briefly takes Saarbrücken at cost. Germany advances hard in Poland but suffers unexpectedly heavy losses from poor combat rolls, failing to take Warsaw before the turn ends. Partisans reduce Japanese and German resources, US entry rises, and production focuses on rebuilding infantry and key units as Europe enters open war.
