Overview:

With the Soviet Union now in the war against them, those Polish units still in the field had only two alternatives: surrender to the Germans or Russians, or flight into the neighboring neutrals of Rumania or Hungary. Just miles north of the Hungarian border, General Anders, commanding the battered Grupa Operacyjna Kawalerri pushed his troops south in hopes of slipping through the tightening noose of the Russians to the east and Germans to the west. As his weary men neared the outskirts of Przemysl, fire erupted. The Poles recognized their age-old foes, the Russians, and without orders charged. With sabers drawn and lances leveled, the cavalrymen commenced their gallop to freedom.

Defender: Russian (72nd Rifle Division with 24th Light Tank Brigade)
