Hi

what a basic infantry section was made of. etc?
Battery of artillery?
Cavalry?
polish tanks platoon, i need five, 3 37mm guns and 2 mg's
In April-May 1919, in the Polish Army of Gen. Haller in France, so-called "the Blue Army", there was formed the 1st Tank Regiment. The unit was based on equipment and part of personnel of former French 505th Tank Regiment, and was equipped with 120 most modern at that time light tanks Renault FT-17. In June 1919 the 1st Tank Regiment, along with Gen. Haller's Army, returned to Poland, with all equipment. Thanks to this, Poland became the fourth biggest armoured power in the world at that time.
The 1st Tank Regiment was equipped with 120 tanks FT-17: 75 armed with a 37mm gun Puteaux SA-18 L/21, and 45 armed with a 8mm Hotchkiss Mle.14 MG (the other source states 72 and 48 respectively). The regiment consisted of 5 companies, divided between 2 battalions. Each company had 3 tank platoons. One platoon consisted of 5 tanks: 3 gun-armed, including a commander's tank, and 2 MG-armed ones.
Thanks
David
