Some Poles Apart: The Battle of the Westerplatte (2007)

About this game

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 Gdańsk.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
