Where are the Polish "Marines"?

[kato13]

Raellus 07-25-2008, 04:08 PM My copy of Osprey's Warsaw Pact Ground Forces (c. 1987) lists a Polish 7th "Lusation" Naval Assault Division (and army unit) but I can't find any mention of it in the v1.0 T2K canon history or any of the OOBs. It's supposed to be attached to the Pomeranian MD/II HQ in Bydgoszcz in north-western Poland.


I would assume that such a unit would be operating somewhere along or near the Baltic coast.


Was it wiped out? If so, when and where?


Is it stranded in China? Norway?


What am I missing? Where are the Polish "Marines"?

Matt Wiser 07-26-2008, 08:10 PM Raellus, check the V1 Ref's guide on p. 28. It shows the Polish 7th MarDiv in the location Kato gave, with the unit subordinate to 2nd Polish Army. The V1 Soviet Vehicle Guide only treated the Soviet Army, not the NSWP countries.
