On the gaming table, I’m looking at Poland Defiant by Stephan Ekstrŏm and Revolution Games.  The game recreates, on the operational level, the first ten days of the whole German invasion of Poland.  German, Slovak, and Polish units are represented, with each counter in the game usually representing a division (approximately 10000-15000 men).

While the Polish player can probably not halt the German invasion outright, slowing or bloodying the German invasion to a sufficient degree can constitute a victory.  Historically this might have caused greater reaction from the British and especially the French, or upset the timetable of coordination the Germans had with the Soviets who would invade Poland from the east on 17 September.
