A look at the books place almost all of the Polish forces in the north west of Poland leaving the south almost totally "defended" (aka occupied) by the Soviets.
There's not a lot of decent ports along the coast west of Gdansk, but one of the Challenge mags does put some (very undermanned) naval assets at Gdynia. The blurb for the 7th "Lusatian" Marine (Naval Assault) Division seems to imply the Pact didn't carry out any significant amphibious operations, at least in the Baltic anyway.
Quote:
This division was held in reserve throughout most of the war in anticipation of an opportunity for an amphibious landing in the Baltic. It was committed to action in 1998 as infantry and has been there ever since.
My guess is the loss of most of the Pact navy in the first year of combat put a bit of a crimp on possibilities for amphibious actions.
