Could pretend they are Nebelwoofers in camouflage?

Do they come from the same factory as PaK lunches?

They've just moved next to a similar tuft. Battlefields are covered with them :)

I find it enhances my suspension of disbelief but I can understand why it might reduce yours!

Getting there. Think I may need to add some static grass to some of the infantry / mortar / HMG




We have ...
Squadron of 10 BT7
Squadron of 10 T35 / T28
Company (2 platoons) of Mechanised Infantry
Recce of BA6, BA64, T60
3 Maxims, 3 50mm mortars, 3 45mm AT guns, 4 field guns. 

But I've got the Soviet bug now, and I've got some 120mm mortars coming, as well as a KV1/2 squadron to give me some alternatives.

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?
