EW Polish R35 tank company

And all 10 tanks painted up and ready for battle. The companies of the 21st Battalion had 4 platoons of R35 tanks (3 tanks in each platoon, as the formation was styled after the French). So I can always expand with 3 more tanks if I wish.

One of the changes to the unit stats that I have included in my September Campaign v.2.0 is making 37mm SA18 guns (found on FT-17 and R35 tanks) RoF3 instead of RoF2. This is based upon technical information on how easily a single gunner could handle the SA18 gun which was semi automatic and had a flat trajectory. The rate of fire at its best was 15 rounds/minute (10 rounds/minute was recommended). Compared to Polish 37mm AT guns that fired at a rate of 12/rounds per minute on average I thought it was a fair increase to the RoF. I upped the points cost for the RoF and the Fearless rating.

The company I'm going to play looks like this:

The 21st Light tank company is just one of 5 Polish tank companies that will be included in my September Campaign v.2.0. I really look forward to share the final result once everything is written and ready for release. I figure the book will be released in roughly 2 months time from now. Maybe sooner. There is a LOT of work but there will also be a TON of new content and army lists for Polish, Germans, Slovak and Soviet armies based upon the invasion of Poland 1939.
