Free Polish Forces

[Alakazou]

Sorry to be an ass, but this is a google translation:

You dont see me speaking spanish right? As for the OP, it will be great to have even more factions. But the devs are already tight as they are, however they do encourage people to make their mini mods. Just like the french free forces that its in the mod section, pretty cool stuff.

It's not FFF but french in general, so we will, maybe, see the FFF, the VFF and the FF..

the Poles that took Monte Cassino [...] the 4th largest Army in Europe [...] the toughest fighters [...] shock troops in Allied service [...] played a HUGE part in the Battle of Britain [...] Without them, Britain would have probably lost the Battle and been overrun [...] Poles helped close the Falaise Gap [...] elite fighter pilots of the RAF

Wow, where were all these guys in September 1939?

As for their equipment:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7TP- Better than or equal to all german tanks in 1939
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TKS- The 20mm type was arguably the best Tank destroyer of its time, and the MG type was pretty much equal to the Pz1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors_37_mm


Oh, and the Polish destroyed almost 700 german tanks out of 1800 committed, and a few thousand soft skin and APC/armoured car type vehicles.  350 of the german tanks were destroyed by the polish cavalry.

Their airforce, while flying 1 generation behind planes, were the best trained pilots in all of europe, with the most flying experience of any airforce.  They held their own, getting a 1:1 KDR despite having only 100 or so fighters and bombers able to fly at any one time.

Also, one forgets, the polish defensive plan was a fighting retreat back to the Vistula, and there hold and wait for allied help from France and Britian.  This plan actually came off without a hitch UNTIL the soviet invasion of eastern poland, as well as the lack of the allies doing anything.


Should I continue?

A hill 262 map would be great (with the germans attacking for a change)... FHT has (a very cool) one but sadly it is a little flat and you can't increase the height anymore

only to find out that 8/10 charges where huge succeses and none of those suicidal charges ever happend

http://www.feldgrau.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=23028 carnage of SS Germania

15.09.1939 parts of 'Germania' attached to 2. LeichtDiv. stationed at Przylbice, Muzylowice, Mogila and Czarnokonce villages and were given task to close the roads leading east and prevent Polish troops of 'Karpaty' Army from reaching Lvov.
I found out, that Muzylowice (inhabited mostly by German colonists) was occupied by:
- regiment's HQ,
- 3rd. battalion,
- support subunits.

At night Muzylowice was attacked by Polish 49. IR (called 'Huculski' or 'Strzelców Kresowych' = 'Border Rifles') of 11. Carpathian ID, led by LtCol. Hodała. Poles went into battle with their rifles unloaded. Germans were caught completely by surprise and suffered heavy casualties. Commander of III battalion SS-Obersturmbannführer Koeppen and regiment's aide-de-camp SS-Obersturmführer Schomburgwas were killed in hand-to-hand combat. Regiment's HQ fled to Jaworow (some 10 km N of Muzylowice). Moreover the unit lost almost all of its heavy equpment, including 8 howitzers 10,5 cm, AA guns battery, majority of mortars and HMGs plus all vehicles.

Easy to do: Just take the british team and give them a new flag + FH1 polish voices. All you need then is a map, and that is where it gets complicated. Ofc but polish voice from Fh1 is sux...i know that i from poland .I can only say:Było by super zobaczyć Polską armie w Fh2 ^^.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crusader yea look for belligerents.

My great grandfather was fighting in Battle of Mokra...He  has died 10 year ago  ...I do not remember too very, But it was wounded  to leg by shatters and Never there that not tell survive

Sorry for english

[ottozeimer]

well, what's the point of putting an army that lasts 2 weeks all together? In that sense, it would be more practical to add Greek or yugoslavian armies, since they lasted at least twice as much. Give us Fins or better - Soviets, please.
