Hello fsn

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  :-





Cheers

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 !!!

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.

No you mustn't...

Oh go on then but if anyone asks, I tried to defend him.

Um ... well you see Pendraken don't do a T35, and I just absolutely had to have them, don't you see? All those turrets and the mechanical unreliability it was totally irresistible. The Dark Lord tempts you with the T28, but it's only half way there. You can't have a T28 without a T35, it's like having the left glove but not the right; like fielding League of Ausberg cavalry without the Incontinent Dragoons; like voting BNP (insert party of choice) without self loathing.

So I had two options. I did tentatively suggest a while ago that Pendraken produced a T35, but after my gentle urging for Centurions, I knew that I wasn't prepared for the emotional scars that the return joshing would bring.

I held on for as long as I could. I bought French, I bought Italian, I ran out of things to buy ... I tried everything I could to avoid buying non-Pendraken, but as time drew on, I kept going back to the Minifigs site. At first it was just to have a look, but as time went on, I visited the site more and more. At times, I went to the Minifigs site before I logged on to the Forum.

I was weak. I know that. I thought, perhaps just a couple or three and that would be it. Then I found that I needed four, so I did it again. I'm not proud of myself. I should have glued some extra turrets on a T26 and been grateful. But I didn't. I gave in to the temptation, and I'm sorry.

If you'll excuse me, I'll take this glass of whisky and this service revolver into the Techno's room. It's so covered in blood no-one will notice a little more.    

I hope you'll find it in your hearts to think well of me.

[getagrip]

Don't do that!

It's a waste of whisky.

[fsn]

Oooh! Oooh! I got a splinter!

Techno's room is dangerous!

Get the splinter out someone! It hurts! It hurttts!

OwOwoWoowwwooowww!
