I have an opponent who uses them as Reds in the RCW. They are wearing that peakless side cap which has two ridges on the top, rather than the single one that you get on the French bonnet de police. I'm considering using them as Czech Legion.

Many thanks......I was thinking of using them in the Soviet-Polish War which seems to have used all sorts of army surplus. There are photographs that suggest I might get away with this.

You're quite right, it's very tempting to think about a 'what if' campaign with Czech frontier troops try to hold back an invasion on two fronts, then with 35Ts and 38Ts going up against Panzer 1 and 2s and a civil war with the Slovaks.  ;D ;D

Go on, you know you want to..... :d :d

Cheers

Have no fear Grumpy, I want to but MUST resist! I do love the idea of a 'what if?' Sudetenland crisis escalating into actual conflict. Lots of fun, opportunities and great camo schemes for the Czechs :).

But just think, after you've finished the Sudetenland, you can then recycle the 38T tanks to the Ecuador-Peru War :D :D.
