Polish 15mm cavalry review (Forged in Battle)
« on: November 03, 2012, 11:11:55 AM »
There are a couple of options for those interested in fielding Polish Early War cavalry in Flames of War (and 15mm WW2 in general). Up until now the ones' I've been familiar with were Battlefront and Old Glory/True North. Not that long ago, Forged in Battle released their cavalry adding another alternative to the list.

Being a huge fan of Forged in Battle castings and quality I purchased a blister so that I could flesh out my cavalry company. The blister contains enough miniatures to give you:

1 company command base (2 models)
4 bases of cavalry (4 models per base)
1 base of 2nd in command/anti-tank rifle team (2 models)

20 models in total, of which 1 was the obvious commander, 2 buglers and 17 riflemen. There is no obvious mounted anti-tank rifleman, which is a bit of a shame since the troop organization and real life had the cavalry equipped with these weapons. I can possibly imagine Forged in Battle releasing cavalry anti-tank rifles in the future as a standalone blister, just like they did with the regular infantry anti-tank rifle teams.

Anatoli:
I've been thinking of buying these cavalry (with the Adrian Helmet) to use as French Cavalry for the DLC. Do you think they could pass as French Cavalry?

Possibly, though I'm no expert of French equipment. But there are no specific things standing out about these models that make them "ultra Polish", so I think you would be able to pass them of as French if you wanted to  :)
