Title: Close look at Polish FoW Tokens
Post by: Anatoli on February 15, 2011, 04:30:38 PM

My Early War Polish army project takes babysteps as stuff start to arrive from different sources.
Put up a detailed description with pictures of the FoW tokens, which I think look so general that you can use them for any WW2 game regardless of scale. I know I will probably use them for my Polish 28mm stuff in Secrets of the third Reich as well.

Have you seen the 15mm Poles from Forged in Battle ?

They only do infantry at present but are adding more figures & vehicles.

Nice castings, friendly company, reasonable prices.

Yep, I intend to buy pretty much all my infantry from them. I saw that the infantry company matches the Blitzkrieg Polish infantry platoon perfectly with 12 teams / platoon.

The idea is:

Infantry from Forged in Battle
AT guns, tanks and tankettes from Battlefront
Cavalry from Old Glory/True North

You'll probably find that they're both based on the actual Polish company organization... ;)

On a serious note, if I recall correctly the True North cavalry mounts are very small. Tiny compared to FoW's, anyway. I wouldn't mix the two, if you were thinking of doing so.

No I intend to keep the True North cavalry "pure". Probably won't expand beyond the cav platoon I already ordered (expensive stuff! compared to infantry boxed sets from FiB). Does not sound promising however if I shelled out 30£ on pony cavalry....  :?

Will see when the arrive.

Lovely counters by the way.
