Finished painting the 2nd infantry platoon today, which means I now can play a legal Infantry Battalion or a really well supported Tank company. I have one final infantry platoon left to paint.I've been thinking about what I have and the only things left to order from various sources would be:
3x R-35 tanks
1x HMG platoon
1x Tachanka platoon
As I plan to use the "Across the Volga rule" for the heavier artillery I won't have to buy any of the heavy guns. The 37 and 75mm guns I have now will be enough to fulfill a static anti tank role.
Instead of posting pictures of the 2nd platoon on its own I took some army pictures instead. Sorry for the poor quality once again but its really cloudy this evening and the lamps in my room aren't intended for "studio" photos.
First here's what I'll bring with me to play as the main Polish force tomorrow. Infantry Battalion 1580pts.
Battalion HQ with 2x Mortars
1st Company 1st platoon incl anti tank rifle and light mortar + HMG platoon
2nd Company 2nd platoon incl anti tank rifle
Scout platoon with 2 sections and anti tank rifle
Cavalry company 1st platoon
7TPjw Tank platoon
37mm AT gun platoon
75mm Light Artillery battery
If need be, I'll always have the remainder of my tank company and could build 2 legal forces. One large Infantry battalion and a small Tank company to support it. I know that one of the players will bring the Polish armored train tomorrow. The allies will be boosted by a French contingent as well, mainly infantry. The opposition will be Germans and a Czech tank company.
Really looking forward for tomorrow (understatement of the year ! )
A battle report will follow during the weekend so stay tuned.
