Polish telephone operators 1919

An agreement on cooperation with "Company B" continues to operate.
But all things are moving very slowly.
There are several reasons (problems molding - poses complicated figures). As well is my fault  - I was now very distracting issues of treatment. But I think that very soon I will be able to work to fully.

Early in the period the weapon situation was more chaotic, more depending on the area in which the fighting took place, which weapons could be obtained either from depots, returned soldiers or as booty. But generally the single units of company size used same weapons and the Poles succeeded astounding well in supplying the correct ammunition to the single units. As can be seen from the schemata, at the end it was rather well organised.

well, from @Khmorg reply I understand he modelled Mauser, and that is what I recognize, Lebel and Berthier look rather different,

That's what I wanted to know anyway.
I am surprised the Polish did not use Moisin Nagant, but I guess there wouldn't have been ammo for that one

Quite naturally Kmorg uses the Mauser, as it was the most commonly used early in the war, as the Prussian depots were huge.
And so the figures also can be used for early Poznan troops by changing the cap to Rogatywka and filing the wezykes (snake braid on the collar) away. For later war - or the M.1919 uniform, just change the head gear as you find most suitable.
