Overview:
The Polish Operational Group Narew was tasked to defend the north-eastern front line near the Lithuanian border, and prevent any German forces springing out of East Prussia from crossing the Narew and Biebrza rivers. Three days into the conflict, Narew's front were still quiet, and the Polish high command approved a raid into East Prussia, in hope that an eventual German counter-action would reveal their strength. At the small town of Birkenberg the Polish Podlaska Cavalry Brigade crashed into the German border defenses.Attacker: Polish (32nd Armored Group and 9th Uhlan Regiment, Podlaska Cavalry Brigade)
Defender: German (Brigade Lötzen, Gruppe Brand)

| 2024-06-03 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | JobboFett | German win | A very close game that came down to the last roll in Close Combat Phase and, although the Polish side managed a casualty reduction, it was not enough to eliminate the last German units from the last building hex CC. It was a tense back and forth affair, and I can easily suggest this one for some entertaining early war Polish aggression. More balanced than "First Invasion Into Germany" | ||
| 2020-07-24 | (A) Jake Smith | vs | Joseph Larochelle | German win | Lots of bad things happened to the Poles. I think it would take lots of good things for them to win. | ||
| 2016-01-23 | (D) Ron Garcia | vs | Darryl M. | German win | |||
| 2016-01-19 | (D) mark watson | vs | Andy Beaton | German win | Poles given balance, 2s and 3s robbed Andy of any chance. | ||
| 2016-01-19 | (A) Andy Beaton | vs | Mark Watson | German win | German win even with Polish balance, which didn't add much. The dice did me no favours here. |
