Read the full game description

Some Poles Apart is the second game in the Pocket Battle Games series from LPS, Inc., released to promote Against the Odds. Some Poles Apart takes a close look at a fascinating and almost unknown action from the opening days of WWII, when a small group of Polish troops earned full "Honors of War" from the Nazis for an amazing defensive stand they made in a Polish military storehouse on Westerplatte, a peninsula in the then Free City of Gda?sk.
