WWII 1939 - September Blitzkrieg in Poland

A strong force of Panzers, along with German infantry supported by 10.5cm batteries and a flight of Stuka ground attack aircraft, battered their way through stubborn Polish defences to claim a victory with typical Teutonic efficiency and ruthlessness.

The real heroes of the battle, however, were a detachment of Polish Bofors A/T guns which managed to KO three Panzers, including a Pz.III. Likewise, a Polish rifle company disabled 2 German A/T guns that had exposed themselves in an overly aggressive and foolhardy move.

Rules used were Rapid Fire Reloaded which work well, although the interaction between tanks and infantry feels a bit 'off' sometimes.

Figures and vehicles are nearly all from 'First to Fight' in 20mm scale. This is a Polish manufacturer who produce a comprehensive range for this campaign. Well worth checking out : First To Fight Wrzesień 1939 - Sklep Modelarski They also available through the normal distributers.

WWII Soviet Invasion of Poland, 1939

The Soviets took the opportunity to invade Poland 16 days after Nazi Germany did, in 1939. Poland was in an impossible position, having to fight a war on two fronts, and were hopelessly outnumbered. After 20 days the Red Army had overcome all resistance.

In this refight the Polish 75mm French field gun, and 40mm Bofors AA gun, managed to KO most of the Soviet BT7s, to achieve a defensive victory.
