Stick a 57mm gun on the back and those konsolmyets are a dangerous foe :D

Solo gaming at least guarantees you both an opponent AND a win ;)

Waiting for some PTRD AT rifles and 120mm mortars, for a bit of extra punch.  

Even though I've now got the Middle East bug, I'm contemplating a 1944 Soviet force. T34's, SU76's, Gaz jeeps, maybe a Katusha or two.  


And Cavalry. In blue trousers.  I want to add cavalry to the 1941 ... including a couple of Tachanka ... and horse drawn artillery.



Do you think I could use late WWI French Cavalry as Polish 1939?

Yes they'd be the closest in the Pendraken range but you could mix in some PP3 WW1 Polish in tzapka as either command figures, variations or because you like them better  :D :-

The troopers in the top two pictures all seem to be riding greys. Is that a coincidence or is it a function of the photography?

Nice tanks FSN. Lovely T35 !!! ;D

I have a huge Polish army.

For Cavalry Pithead do them, but Bend Sinister do far nicer ones. THey also do basic infantry.
For engineers use Russiad flame thrower men.

The Helmets for WW2 Russian, Poles and Italians are based on the same orriginal helmet, so you can get away with a piant job conversion

I have used Russian flamethrowers for Polish Engineers and Russian A/Tank rifles for Italian ones.

Do Pendraken do a T35?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

TRD35 any good? :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.
