Polish Army Lancer Command There are few more heroic and stirring sights than Polish cavalry dashing themselves in a desperate charge against German armoured might; lance against Krupp steel... Only, it largely of course didn't happen. Gallant though they were, the Polish Cavalryman was no fool. After reforms in 1936 the Polish cavalry was re-organised into twenty six regiments, off our squadrons each with one hundred and twenty men in each squadron. They were supported by HMG and anti-tank squadrons, backed too with tankettes and infantry on bicycles. Sadly for the romantics amongst us, the lance had been retired and was used largely for ceremonial purposes. The cavalry force was still the best equipped, best trained and indeed largest mounted force in the world, but its role of dashing cavalry had been sensibly changed to that of a "fire brigade", that is a mounted reserve of quality mounted infantry. They rode to the theatre of operations then dismounted and fought with conventional rifle and machine guns, where they fought well against a determined and more mechanised aggressor. This is not to deny the Polish cavalry their due however, as there were recorded sixteen cavalry charges in World War 2, some of which carried the day, though most were with sabre and few, if any at all, against armoured units. Warlord Games however salute the brave Poles, whose motto was "Honourand Fatherland", and we supply models with lances for the old fashioned cavalry types who still hear the snorting of the horses and the jangle of the bits before the trumpeter sounded the Charge! Polish mounted, early war, lancer command pack consisting of an officer, bugler and NCO.

Polish Infantry The Polish army that fought and died so bravely in 1939 was large, well-officered and relatively well equipped. It fought hard, but was entirely outmanoeuvred by fast moving German armoured thrusts supported by all arms in a new dynamic style of war that a largely foot slogging army could not match. When the Russians stabbed them in the back, dividing Poland into two, it was all too much for an already over extended army short of armour and air support and the end was inevitable. That being said there were many desperate actions fought where the Poles fought the invaders to a stand still, and the stolid infantry held their ground and their dashing cavalry caught the enemy napping. This box contains 24 models with a classic rifle section and their accompanying Browning Automatic Rifle. To take control of the action we also include a command group with a young junior officer, NCO, runners and the Polish deadly anti-tank rifle.

Polish Army Squad The Polish infantry squad was a powerful fighting force, comprising of up to 19 men. The riflemen were equipped with Mauserbolt-action rifles and the squad support weapon was the well proven Polish-made Browning automatic rifle, or RKM WZ.28. This machine gun was adequate for most of its roles but would be overpowered bythe shattering rate of fire of German MG34's. The Polish infantryman of our period was well trained and highly motivated, attacked as he was on two fronts in a dastardly move by two of the world's most aggressive powers.

Polish Sharpshooters Marksmen Poland fielded a very powerful Infantry arm in the early days of the war.They were adequately provided with rifles, less so with machineguns. Being smashed so early on in the war, Poland never fielded snipers as did the other armies as they gained experience in mobile and static warfare. They did of course have men who could shoot well, and we have paired up a Marksman team to give you some chance of keeping the German and Russian heads down! One of them has either robbed a corpse or obtained his own telescopic sight, but together these two bold fellows will make the invaders pay! Anti-tank rifles Military history is replete with extraordinary and weird stories that almost defy explanation. The Polish army is no exception, and it's high powered and pretty effective anti tank rifle, the W2 35 was available in some numbers in time to resist the German and Russian invaders of 1939. Sadly, the powers that be had decided that the weapon was so good that it should remain a secret, and they were largely kept hidden in wooden chests marked surveillance equipment for Uruguay - I am not making this up either! Sad to say it was poorly distributed and not well understood until a bit too late.. Our two brave tank hunters are both equipped with the W2 35, hoping to get a few shots from its 4 round magazine into an enemy tank, the tanks and armoured cars of the day were vulnerable to this most excellent weapon.

Early War Polish Army Heavy Mortar Team The classic infantry support weapon. As with most armies of the period the Poles adopted the 81mm medium mortar. Capable of laying down a rain of shells in short time, this is the weapon you want to either smother the foe with firepower or to break up any assault on your position. The mortars were normally grouped together with the heavy machine gun company of the Battalion.

Early War Polish WZ30 HMG Team Just what the infantry and cavalry need; the re-assuring tap, tap, tap of a heavy machine gun covering their front! The WZ30 was the rugged and standard medium/heavy machine gun of the Polish army. Solid and dependable it was in actual fact a pretty much complete copy of the classic Colt machine gun from the USA, who foolishly had not patented the design in Poland! Either way it gave good service in all branches of the armed forces and here it is in all its glory!

Polish WZ. 1897-17 75mm Gun The 75mm Gun was also exported to Poland who used it with its old spoked wheels rather than the more modern pneumatic wheels on the French gun.
