Next War: Poland

A near-future European conflict where Russian and allied forces invade Poland and NATO scrambles to respond. Players command armies, manage reinforcements, and contest terrain as fronts form in the Baltics and eastern Poland. Gameplay combines operational-level maneuver and combat with logistics, airpower, and national political responses. Scenarios range from shorter, standard-rule engagements to extended campaign play with advanced rules for detailed air operations, reinforcements, and optional modules. The system emphasizes study of modern combined-arms warfare rather than introductory wargaming, offering both quicker standard scenarios and deeper, longer campaign experiences for experienced players.
