The Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 ended the Polish hopes of being able to hold out while a British and French attack developed on the western front. Totally committed to the struggle with Germany the Polish armed forces had pitifully few troops left to man the eastern border. Still the Soviet advance was not unopposed.*
*
At Grodno a fierce battle developed when improvised Polish forces supported by reserve cavalry decided to challenge the Soviet advance across the Nemen bridges.*

Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Polish side.*
