September 1939 - new ruleset and minis

[Sarmor]

I've decided to start an English-language blog about Polish wargames and minis (at least the ones I buy) and the tankette's review is the first thing to appear on it. Hope you'll like it: http://warsawwargames.blogspot.com/2013/11/first-to-fight-tks-with-20mm-cannon.html

 Good show Sarmor!!!

A friend of mine reviewed the Panzer I A, and I made an extract/translation: http://warsawwargames.blogspot.com/2013/12/first-to-fight-panzer-i-ausf-a.html
I hope we'll succeed in covering the whole range.



Quite a nice model, I must say, I'm almost sorry I didn't buy it, but I'm waiting for the Panzer I B.

I truly love...LOVE...early WW2.  In fact this is something that I did not really notice until I started thinking how I'd want to game WW2 and the earliest days are simply the most appealing to me.  Such unique situations, weird mis-matches, the brutal swan song of so many WW1 units/equipments/tactics etc.  I love tankettes and small Panzers, horse-drawn equipment etc.  Now...20mm or 28mm?

(unfortunately my newly minted Brother-in-Law is doing 28mm and I might adopt that scale as a ice-breaker...) 

I'll echo the previous sentiments here.  What damn good time to be a miniature gaming enthusiast!

Second has been posted on Strategie.pl portal - this one is Polish only but photos are international I think:)

Excellent to see the TK-3 as well, something I remarked upon in my own review of the TKS box (that it lacked the MG option, but perhaps it would be ammended with a TK-3 release  )

[Sarmor]

There will be an MG-armed TKS, only later in the series. So all in all, 3 Polish tankettes will be released: both versions of the TKS and a TK-3 (MG only).

Some people actually got their TKS with an additional sprue with the MG barrel and mantlet. I mentioned it in my review...

Speaking of machine gun armed tankette...
