Nice. Its always great to see Piechotę Legionów on the table. Have you decided on regiment, there were 9 of them?

As to Erhard.. Only one in Polish service was fighting in Powstanie Wielkopolskie and later IIIrd Powstanie Śląskie and was painted dark grey.

Most common armored vehicle in Polish army and on the Soviet front would be Renault FT (Poland with 120 FT) was 3rd armored force in the world beck then :D

120 tank bodies, not 120 working FT17s.

They struggled to get more than 10 into the field at any time. Even when desperate in front of Warsaw and Lwow.

Mostly they were put on rail carriages and used as improvised armoured trains.

In terms of which regiment I had thought this a generic Legion uniform so could be any, but as I used the image of the 6th Regiment from the Osprey lets call them the 6th.

I had understood they had a number of captured armoured cars of various makes, including German and Russian, you will have to forgive my artistic licence with this.

More Poles in differing uniforms to follow in due course.
